| Summary: | In this feature, we offer a feminist critique of Orca Book Publishers’ Orca Soundings series, a Canadian collection of short novels aimed at reluctant teen readers.

In our analysis of several novels, we pinpoint feminist concerns by evaluating themes, character development, plot elements, and pacing. |
