Written in a very slow flow, you can feel this kid's pain, but like also talking with a kid, it has a very pronounced roundabout way, which prevented me from connecting with the characters and the plot. Everything was extremely this or incredibly the other, I know it is the title, but I don't need to read it every other page.
Moderate: Death of parent and Abandonment

This book is written from the perspective of a nine year old and in first person. It seems accurate a lot of the time, to what nine year olds think and is very touching.
