Although this book was okay, it has a childish feel. Defiantly for younger readers. Its good for children going through a divorce

As a teacher who's taught both middle school and struggling readers at the high school level, I've got a lot of experience with young adult and middle grade novels. Between is one of my favorites. :) Ouweneel really captures the authentic voice of a middle schooler and the struggles that kids, and adults, of all ages go through when things don't turn out exactly as expected. It's a quick read, and very well done!

Engaging Read!
"Between" is an engaging story. Ouweneel has mastered the voice of a 7th grade girl while the over-arching theme of divorce is all too relevant for kids today. Read more
