Reviews

[Bailey Marissa]

Well that got dark really fast.

Recommended 9+ for violence, hinted adult alcoholism, near drowning of a child, and other issues not appropriate for younger readers.

[Twyla]

My favorite part was when they all managed to escape from the fire and the barn was still fine. My least favorite part was when Twyla and her siblings were separated and given away because their parents couldn't afford to keep them all any longer.
