review 1: This is an absorbing book from the writer of 'The Gruffalo'. It is about an orphan girl (Leo) who goes on the run from her uncle in an attempt to find her grandparents, who she has never met. The story is told from mainly two perspectives (Leo and, schoolboy, Finlay) who's paths come together to show stories of human kindness. While reading this book, I came to care about the characters and found it quite engaging. It's a good read for good to high ability year 5 and 6 readers.
review 2: Bought for $1.00 at the Dollar Tree, turned out to be a great deal. The plot held my interest to the very end. Mystery type novels, when well written, always make me want to read the last chapter to check up on all my favorite characters when I'm only half way through the boo... morek, this was no exception. I thought that this was supposed to be aimed at teenagers, however I find that some of the subject material is a little disturbing. less
