Pretty Good

I read this book for Accelerated Reader at school and it was pretty good. Laurie is a girl who'se mom hurts her and she is mooving all the time because her mom wants no one to find out. Laure just starts to make friends at school when then she has to moove. Laure finally decides to tell her music teacher what her mom is donig, but the music teacher has someting wrong with her appendix. This was a really good book.

Touching...

An extremely touching tale that helped me make it through some tough times as a kid. I'm happy to say that this book is still kept at my local library.

If you have trouble dealing with violence commited against children, then this book may not be the book for you.

I think the fact that I still remember this book after 13 years is a testament to what a good book it was.

She is not alone

What a wonderful book to show children suffering from abuse that they aren't alone. 11 year old Laurie lives with her abusive mother, Annabelle, who makes Laurie feel as if she has to make excuses and lie for all of her 'accidents' in which her mother causes. Laurie endures more abuse than she can handle, but finds solace in a dog she 'adopts.' She hides this dog and cares for it, as it provides one of her only sources of safty and happiness. When Annabelle attacks the dog, things change.

This book should be in every school library, and every media specialist should be familiar with it. A child who is going through what Laurie goes through might be more inclined to talk knowing that they are not alone.
