Introspection of a fictional girl
+ Insightful
While this is a fictional account of self-harm, I felt that it was a fair portrayal of the main character who is attempting to deal with familial issues the best way she knows how.

All Older Children and Young Teens Should Read This Book
+ this book is so great
This book is a fascinating effort to bring home the horrors of the Holocaust and the pernicious effects of branding people as the "other." A must-read for our divisive, soulless times, I read this with my two older children and we all learned something from it. You will, too.
