![]() ![]() I think why I liked this book so much as a kid was the thought of being on your own and having to take care of yourself. Lisa, Todd and a group other children form the Grand Avenue gang and turn their entire neighborhood into a fortress. Since all the adults are dead the children begin to form gangs for survival and protection. So basically it's the 1970s version of Lord of the Flies with a female protagonist. The Girl Who Owned a city is about a ten-year-old girl named Lisa who along with her younger brother, Todd, survive a plague that kills anyone over the age of twelve. ![]() Looking back as an adult, I wonder if anyone was concerned about what I was reading. I remember reading this book when I was in 3rd or 4th grade and I remember loving it so much I did a book report on it. ![]()
