For all the missing children, and for all the children who aren't believed, this story sings to the vulnerability and easy dismissal of children and their experiences that the adults just fail.

Wow was that depressing. I cried which I wasn’t really expecting, but I really got to know the characters and felt for them. I do have to say I thought it was weird how it was written and how Claudia was written, but it makes sense when a certain reveal happens. This is such an important story, but very dark. I also really like Claudia as a main character and how strong she was. I really enjoyed the friendships and the family and how great of support system Claudia had. I do have to say it was also kind of confusing how it was written because I kept forgetting what timeline we were in.

A beautiful, emotional read. The writing is so captivating and authentic to a 13 year old’s voice. Highly recommend checking the trigger warnings in advance before deciding to read.
