I can see what this story was aiming for - but I have a 14 year old and I just don't think she'd enjoy this one. Again, the message is just a little too......much. It's not subtle and it doesn't seem to contain any of the things that would draw her or help her identify with the characters. I just don't see these as real kids with real, real world issues.

But if this story is good for even one kid - a reluctant reader - than it's good the story is out here. It just wasn't for me

Quick read for reluctant readers!
