“A quick read. This book is a little disturbing with a surprise ending but unfortunately I figured it out before the end.”

Carrie is 8 years old and Emma is her 6-year old sister. Their father was shot in a robbery, which Emma witnessed, and their mother remarried Richard, a man who drinks too much and abuses her and the girls. The book is from Carrie's point of view as she tries to deal with everything going on.
I thought this book was really really good. It was one where I wanted to keep reading it, or if I wasn't, I wanted to get back to reading it. It gripped me from the start. ”

it is narrated by its 8 year old Caroline. However unlike Room, I liked this style and the
story was well structured and interesting. A horrible tale of neglect and abuse, it is also a story of
strength and tghe resillience of a child.
There is also a twist at the end which I certainly wasnt expecting.”
“I really enjoyed this little book - what a twist at the end! I never saw it coming! ”

“the subject matter in this book is very disturbing, but sadly a reality for some children. I read the book years ago but the characters still haunt me. A very suspenseful, believable work of fiction, a real page turner!”
