A review by kingarooski
Beck by Mal Peet

4.0

Heart-breaking at times, the story of a mixed-race orphan from Liverpool, who ends up in Canada. Beck sees little kindness and a lot of mistreatment and abuse but eventually finds Bone and then Grace. But will he settle happily?

I loved the frequent mentions of Winnipeg and Canadian wide open spaces. Not recommended for anybody under 16, despite its YA classification.
