Review by:
Kristen Portillo
on Oct. 01, 2011 :
I finished the book in less than three hours and NOT because of its short length but because of its captivating voice. Told from the perspective of an only child, 9 year old LA Payton, growing up with her mother and step-father in the Pacific Northwest, I was instantly drawn to the simple and innocent views that are common yet so endearing among children nearing their teenage years.
