One of those books I read as a kid that has been stuck with me ever since. You do not want to know what I searched to find this book xD Definitely want to reread it at some point
Reading this broke my heart several times. I still don't know how parents could treat a child like this.

Couldn't keep my attention. Won't be able to sell it to kids :(
Nice, quick read. Entirely personal. Something left me unsatisfied. May read her adult version- Falling Leaves.
WARNING! THIS BOOK MIGHT BE TO AMAZING FOR YOU.
If I could I would give this book more than 5stars.
When ever I think of this book I need to cry.
I just can't help it! I feel so angry with how this girl has been treated I could kill the stepmother!
My English teacher borrowed me this book, she was probably expecting to get it back in a few weeks, but no. I returned it the next day..not because I couldn't read it but because it was such a great book..I read it in a day!
I love this book so much,..
&I'm not going to write much about it because I want you guys to find out everything for your selves!
But I'm telling you %99.99 will cry!

I had a hard time rating this book because i found that there were positives and negatives. I found Adelines story inspiring and was very happy that she continued her education. I also found her to be extremely intelligent even as a young child. One of the downsides for me was that sometimes she came off as quite whiny as she explained all the bad things in her life. I don't want to disrespect her in any way because i found her story to be really sad but i think a small change in writing style may have benefited this book. Also, i think that Adeline had alot in her life that was good and she had many oppurtunities that others did not have. If she acknowledged her luck i might feel more sympathetic for her.
