Customer Reviews

Sensitive story about abuse in a day care center.

I'm 29 and still read young adult fiction - when it can keep my interest. This book explores child abuse at a day care center and how two sisters deal with the issue. They must decide what to do about their discoveries in relation to their friends and parents. I enjoy Miklowitz's writing because she makes you want to find out more and doesn't just blurt out all the salient plot points right away. She also deals with this sensitive subject matter in a way that is not too blunt, but also not so vague as to leave you wondering what she's talking about. Very timely for the '90s. A very good read, although not right up there with my favorite books.
