Lesley Anne Cowan Gets a Little Wicked
Detail of the cover of Cowan’s Something Wicked.
By day, Lesley Anne Cowan teaches in the Toronto District School Board, spending every day with high risk students. By night, she’s an accomplished author whose 2003 debut, As She Grows, dealt with the difficult issue of teen pregnancy. Seven years later, Cowan’s back, tackling equally tough issues with her latest book. Something Wicked tells the story of the self-destructive Melissa, a troubled teen dealing with her broken family, broken relationships and broken promises. Cowan’s complex coming-of-age tale is heartbreaking and hopeful, and a wonderful read.
