This book was beautiful it talked a lot of the social care system and how it can emotionally impact the people who are in care I think that it was a really good read to have as a pallet cleanser it was emotional but a necessary read

It was cute. The character builds were general and there wasnt much detail. As a short story, it's quite good, but not as a full on novel

Being an "foster care child" myself I picked it up as fast as I could when I found it in my library. I wish I had this as a teen when I came to my foster home for a second time. Luckily in my case the foster home and parents was an absolute blessing for me and something that even to this day make me so happy I had. But unfortunately there isn't a lot of fiction about that experience or good ones for that matter. I wish more "different family's" would be discussed in YA rather than the "absent/dead parent" or the family that exist but is hardly ever a big part of a book. Sorry I get a little bit passion nu topics like this

Solid.
13yo (year 7) protagonist, but comfortably a primary read, too.
Exploring the notion of out of home care and belonging.
Minimal action, interlocking past/present events, short read, dyslexia & child friendly publication.

I loved this book! Amy is a protagonist that I connected with right from the first page and her perspective as a child in the foster care system is so well-written.
A very engaging story that left me emotional.
