The way the writer had Shif’s voice come off the page grabbed me from the start. The end was a bit rushed but otherwise a strong “first person account” of what it was like to leave your family, not by choice and then escape with nothing but perseverance to push you through. Easy enough read that I’d recommend it for MS grades. I loved the use of the flash forward at the outset; we know where the protagonist is heading, but the journey is what matters. It strikes the right balance between descriptive and emotional - I didn't feel like the writer was manipulating my emotions, but pathos just spills from the pages. The writing style makes it accessible to older children/young teens, but it's a great read for adults too. I was absolutely enthralled by this book, and consumed it in just 2 nights. Dark, though-provoking, highly recommended for a quick read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
