Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
A lonely newcomer at her high school, Dorry is drawn into a religious group called "The Fishers of Men" by some friendly fellow students, only to find herself immersed in a cult that forces her to make some difficult choices and from which she must struggle to extricate herself. Reissue.
Review:
"Tightly written, with well-drawn characters, and demonstrating insight into the psychology of belief and affiliation, this cautionary novel is in no way anti-religious; Dorry has found genuine meaning in worship and prayer, and at the end of the book, continues her spiritual journey, but in her own way."
Kirkus, 10/01/1997
Review:"This is a well-turned cult drama, with a sympathetic protagonist whose interest in the group and desire to please them is both understandable and convincing. While Haddix's portrayal of the other cult members is a bit programmatic, she doesn't make the mistake of demonizing every aspect of the group, which makes the examination of Dorry's agonizing ambivalence more effective."
Deborah Stevenson, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, December 1997
