This book is very impactful, a lot more than I was expecting. It teaches you how to love, how to let go, and how to get back up when things get bad. If anyone has ever lost a loved one, this is the book for them. It shows you the life of a girl who has been through way too much for her age. It portrays the idea that, yes, stuff happens, but you will live on, and you may never forget what has happened, but you will eventually overcome it with the help of others.
Tinkham- Keep this book on the reading list. It really makes kids think. A lot of people in this day and age don’t even realize how lucky they are. It opened my eyes to a completely different lifestyle.
I do think that readers who have dealt with unexpected loss of someone close to them, should read this with caution, knowing that there are some parts that hit pretty hard.
I’ve mentioned this before but the author of THYG does an outstanding job with setting a tone, and keeping it consistent throughout the story.
