How the Light Gets In

This book was a great, fast read! The book itself is a little water logged, as it got snowed on, but is perfectly readable. The story is about a gifted girl trying to get out of her dead end life in Australia by being an exchange student in America. As someone who works with at-risk children, it really spoke to me about how even highly intelligent people cannot easily overcome the damage of poor parenting. Though the ending was a little brusk, I loved this book!
