... young adult or adult can read and enjoy this book - lessons to be learned and comfort from wise words are well worth the effort.
The amount of characters is kept to a minimum - close family members and a couple of school members and teachers are all that feature. I believe this is what makes the prose intense and the feeling of being 'alone' and 'invisible' all the more evident and believable. It is realistic as anyone who has experienced this journey will know. There will be some who will not leave you and will su...more
