The subject matter is way too intense for the targeted age group. I was a wreck for weeks. Maybe some would view a book that haunts you 20 years later as good, but having reread it , I can honestly say it's not even written that well. It wouldn't affect an adult the way it affected me as a child.I never write reviews but I feel like if I can save one little girl the experience I'm doing a service. Please don't let anyone younger than 13-14 read this parents....more
