I read this book and it made me want to cry.. I am 14 years old and normally kids read books for there age but i like to exceed on books. I've never felt this way about a book before ,you actually feel like how lucky am I to be with my parents and not get beaten up by my farther.i really enjoyed this book and i am going to admit I did cry when I read this book.i do recommend this book to younger readers and older readers too.
