True North is a work of fiction in the science fiction, romance, and adventure subgenres. It is intended for the young adult reading audience and was penned by author Jennifer Edelson. In this utterly engrossing, cool modern adventure tale, we meet protagonist Indy, who appears to be a typical young person that gets very nerdy about books and boys. But Indy has a secret belief in the extra-terrestrial, and when her internet radio show True North begins to attract the attention of others who can prove that UFOs are real, she runs the risk of having to unmask her radio alter ego and taking on one danger after the next to uncover the truth.
True North was a fabulous adventure tale that encompasses all of the best parts of young adult fiction but also spins a truly unique alien tale with a plotline that was delightfully original and unexpected. I particularly enjoyed Indy as a central character that author Jennifer Edelson crafts with such loving attention to detail and resonant emotional realism. Her dialogue and narration are dynamic and exciting for the target age range, and I also enjoyed the way her personality shone and she become more confident in her Orion persona for the radio show. Add to this the atmospheric scenery and thrilling action scenes of the work, the interpersonal relationship and romantic fun with local jock Sawyer and the absolutely fascinating world of UFOs, and True North becomes a top recommendation for any fan of YA fiction looking for a talented author and a new hero to adore.
