 My Review: Wow, this is a good book but maybe a bit too much for a tween reader. I know my 11 year old daughter (same age as main character) would have a rough time with subject matter. I don't want to give a spoiler but I was way wrong in thinking the tragedy was divorce. If you have a mature tween or young teen, this would be a good book but be ready comfort them if they begin to worry.
