This is a tough but well-done and important read that addresses sexual abuse on the middle grade level. Kids who have gone through this will find comfort in Patrice’s reflections and eventual courage to speak the truth. I’m grateful we have such a relatable, high quality read on such a difficult subject, and one that is very hard to get right for kids.
