A simple book for the first day in the library for PreK2 to K.
Although fictionous, this books gives insight to the prerails of life of a teen being put on trail for being an accessory to murder,
This book was good; however, I knew it was about a girl being raped so I had this in my mind while I read so there was no mystery.
This book's storyline was rather simple. The author expanded on a simple idea. Although the book was nonfiction, some of the story was very unrealistic; however, the point was to convey an idea. The descriptions were elaborate and bizarre. I am still somewhat puzzle as to the intent of the content; however, the mission of the book may have been to incite thought. Of course, there are not always hard straight forwards answers. The book was not enjoyable, but very thought provoking. In a sense, it was depressing and morbid. Did the story truly do anything other than entertain and pose questions? Is life worth living may have been the main question. At best, it is a good book to help one examine the meaning of life.
The story makes a good attempt to showcase life after Katrina, the reader must remeber it is a child's point of view. The storyline is unrealistic of the nature of Katrina's sudden aftermath. It doesn't convey the pain.
If you like books about gambling and sizinp up people as a gambler you will love this book.
