review 1: Quick read, though not necessarily easy; focuses on the aftermath of child abuse without going into specific detail about the abuse itself, which I thought was well-handled. Sympathetic character coping with self-harm, family abuse (physical and emotional), with a path towards recovery which is realistic but not 100% positive/guarenteed. The lack of an up-beat ending may challenge or disturb some readers.
review 2: This was a great psychological read. Really moved fast and is good for reluctant readers. The girl in the story and her brother are orphans as their parents died in a car crash. Her Aunt is living with them- for now. When she turns 18, the Aunt is going back to her own life. Her brother is really violent to her and when she runs into someone who... more knew her from her past, it makes her lose it. She takes off for a zoo where she feels is the only place that can offer her the comfort she needs. Things happen while she hides out in the zoo, for one, her brother finds her. It is 149 pages long and you will finish it rather quickly. less
