We read this book for the Read Around the World Book Club, gesturing female authors that have been translated. The author is a librarian from the Netherlands. This is not a typical middle grade book; it deals with a difficult subject and how the main character Kiki deals with it. It makes you think about how kids process complex situations and really how much they need adult guidance!
