I thought this was such a great book. It was a very powerful book about a young girl who goes with her sister to stay with her aunt and her aunt's wife after something happened at their home. I liked the idea of the author to create a game to help our main character to understand about what happened and to come to terms that her father is not a nice man and she is safer away from him. I also think the illustrations were very beautiful.

Discusses sensitive topics in a very thoughtful way. I like that you could read the story literally or metaphorically and it was well done either way. Great chapter book for middle grade readers.
