This is an incredible story of children living with extremely neglectful, self indulgent parents. The children literally raised themselves, each other, and often took responsibility for the parents. While they lived in desperate conditions, the story is written from a very positive viewpoint. The beginning is a little slow, but then I couldn't put this book down.
