This is a very difficult story to read --mostly because it deals with some awful things, but also because a) I found the viewpoint character, a 13 year old boy, very difficult to stay engaged with and b) there are lots of layers of what is going on, all the time, and I struggled to keep track. 

Well worth having stuck through having to borrow it from the library four times, each time having to wait through the hold queue!
