One little word. NO!!
Who would think that two-letter word could cause such an upheaval.
It certainly did in this small town, but it was a powerful exclamation.
Hazel and her family moved from New York City to beautiful Maine in hopes that they would have a more affordable life.
On the first day of school, Hazel is summoned to the principal’s office where he propositions her. He tells her chooses a girl each year to have sex with, and he has chosen her. She screams no and runs out.
He denies it all and said she is the one that suggested an illicit affair
What a disaster for the entire family.
We follow Hazel and her family as they go through this horrible event that unfortunately does happen in real life.
I did not like Hazel’s mother because she figured that keeping things hidden would take care of everything.
And her poor father was so upset about everything that he messed up his first day of teaching at the college and is already having to watch his step.
Her brother Wolf had to turn down the lead in the play because of pressure from one of his fellow students. Loved Wolf!!
It was a mess all the way around and so sad.
HAZEL SAYS NO was emotional but also a lesson about what's right and what's wrong.
What will win out? What won out for Hazel? 4/5
