Customer Reviews

LOVED IT!

I LOVE this book. Its one of my favourites. And the ending is so good.I highly recommend it. I mean its so hard to put down and so well written with a amazing plot.

Nominated for Governor General's Award

This book was nominated for the Governor General's Award for the best children's book of the year in Canada. It's an excellent read and hard to put down until it's finished. The subject matter is a bit mature for younger audiences; teenagers will love it. It could be the basis of interesting parent-child conversations if both read it.

Change of Pace

Not only does David Boyd, change pace by flipping back and forth to ten years before, but the whole story is told by sections of taperecorded converstations between a psychologist and specific characters. Assesments are also made by numerous MD's and other workers in a Youth Detention Center.
