Review:
I liked this book because it really made you appreciate how brave some kids are. They're family abused them, yet they still dared to escape, even knowing the terrible consequences. This story was pretty good, but the characters weren't very complicated. They were realistic, but not very complex or flawed, so it wasn't as interesting as stories with better characters. The story was a pretty easy book to read, but it was still pretty good.
Rating: ***
