Customer Reviews

Great book!

This book tells the story of withdrawn, emotionally-disturbed,Abby, a sixteen year old girl in an abusive family. Pfeffer uses journal entries, transcripts and letters to tell Abby's story and although the theme is intense, an off-beat sense of humour pervades the book. I would highly recommend this book to any teenager who feels unloved and unappreciated by his/her family.
