Customer Reviews

Book that's Worth a Read.

This book was one that I will recomend to girls ages 9-13. This is a great book for anyone who has delt with the loss of someone that they've lost. After her father dying, Mack's (main character) little sister stops talking. Once their constantly moving small family settles down for awhile, things start to change for Mack and her family. Her mom gets a new boyfriend, which makes Mack extreamly uncomfortable, and someone having an unwanted crush on Mack also makes her feel quite umcomfortable as well. This book was a great read, and as the other reviewer said before me: It is not extreamly boring!! It is an interesting and great book to read, and I liked it because I could really relate to Mack. This is one that I would highly reccomend!!!!!!
