review 1: I really liked this book. It was about a girl named Carly whose world was turned upside down when her mom got arrested for embezzlement.I think that when Annie's (Carly's best friend) mom got arrested,I felt like that was too much of a coincidence and that event was way too rushed. I also really hated Annie's and Carly's friendship.Annie did not deserve Carly's friendship:) Overall,it was a nice, enjoyable read.
review 2: I like that the conflict in this story is unlike what readers typically find in YA novels. Although most youth haven't faced the issue of a parent going to prison, I think a lot of the feelings and situations Carly experiences are ones that teens will make connections with even though what they are personally facing may be quite different. C... morearly has a friend say mean things to her and exclude her; she worries that her parents will divorce; and she has to learn to forgive. These sitatuions are real to teens, and I think a number of readers will really like this book. It may be a tough sell to boys, though. less
