I have to admit, the ending makes this story. If you're looking for a light, easy read,then pick up this book. If you're looking for a story that will keep you turning pages to discover what secrets will be revealed next then this is definitely the story for you!

This is not on the same level as 'White Oleander', it's a quick, light book, pretty good story. There isnt as much of the author's unique, poetic, metaphors etc. like in her other books, but the plot of this book is simple and nice.

Not your typical book for middle school girls. But perhaps it should be. There is much more to life than what is on the surface. Now I see where White Oleander came from. Before you decide to "go with the flow", its best to understand the flow. Don't miss this treasure. Make sure your daughter reads it by the end of 9th grade. Very well written. Excellent story. Plenty of surprizes and suspense. "All is often not what it seems" is the powerful message. Realistic characters, especially Carla's parents. RG

This book isn`t telling a story about someone unreal, but not too real either. It`s just telling us a story of a girl we wish we could be like, but not really. This book inspires you, but in some ways it doesn`t. Though I`m not really telling you much about this book, you should read it. It gives you a whole new perspective on life.
Sorry if you don`t understand what I`m saying, but if you read the book, you`ll truly understand.

Frankly with every book I read I take on the charecters a little and I grow from them, I have learned to love these charecters and their adventures, and I hope the same for you!
