It isn't perfect. There are a few places in which things could be tidied up - Mrs Quenell's role in it all doesn't quite make sense to me, sometimes both the reading of Plath and the themes of mental health felt somewhat superficial - but the main thing I took from ''Belzhar'' was that there isn't another book anything like it. If you don't enjoy cookie-cutter stories and you love literature, you'll want to read it.
Other super stories of young people dealing with children and mental health issues include [[From Where I Stand by Tabitha Suzuma]] and [[Catcall by Linda Newbery]].
