Young Adult Book Review – by Donna M. McDine 

From the onset immerse yourself and feel your emotions ebb and flow as you become fully invested in the characters of C. Lee McKenzie’s Young Adult Novel, Rattlesnake. Bad luck follows the Guthrie family from New Hampshire to Nevada, to all places named Rattlesnake. If that isn’t enough to get your skin crawling, how can they possibly call their inheritance of the shambled home and an old abandoned mine be where they will start anew. The very presence of Aunt Margaret, Jonah, and Allie is not welcomed by the townsfolk and how will Jonah come to terms of their new location, the unexplained anger toward them, and the unexpected visitor, Catherine, from 100 years ago. The rollercoaster ride of how all the lives are intertwined and how each can help one another will have you rooting for each and every character, even the town bully, Snake.
