  • Not a children's book

    I heard the author say that the age her stories are for only differs only in the age of the characters, and this is certainly true for this book. Children that age don't talk like that and don't think like that. The bullying might be the same, but otherwise, this is an adult story, or maybe for older adolescents, but not for grade-school children.
