Helpful Score: 2


I was struggling through another book and picked this one up because I believed, true to form, that the book would a be a quick, though very heart-felt read. While I want to believe that the intensity of this kind of physical and psychological maltreatment of children does not occur, I know it does. Bird, the eight-year-old voice in this fictious story, uses her imagination and, ultimately, Miss Zola to get her through the unimaginable.
