3.0
This intense novel touches on several issues that a growing number of teenagers face in modern society. [b:White Chalk|18174548|White Chalk|Pavarti K. Tyler|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1374000030s/18174548.jpg|24830602] is not suitable for everyone, but those who can handle its gritty themes will be rewarded with an unforgettable story that can inspire people to change the world (seriously). As the story progresses, the harsh impacts of family discord are unravelled in a gripping way that leaves readers cheering whole-heartedly for the young protagonist (Chelley) as she struggles to find a place for herself in a world that she does not belong in. It is easy to feel compassion for Chelley and the novel's shocking ending can inspire readers to make the world a better place so that fewer youth will experience a life similiar to Chelley's.

Tyler|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1374000030s/18174548.jpg|24830602] is a work of fiction, the events that take place reflect the harsh reality of modern society and I applaud the author for taking the bold step of addressing subjects that many people refuse to discuss. Overall, [b:White Chalk|18174548|White Chalk|Pavarti K.
