General Comments: While slow to present itself at the beginning, it builds slowly into a splendid story; an accessible story with a meaningful message. It does not give us terror by providing graphic creatures, rather, it makes us realise that humans and our behaviours are the true horror – it portrays and explores the message that intentions without action mean nothing, in the case of bullying.
Favourite Quote: “This empty, open school at night was probably the only place where she could breathe freely. Suddenly, I felt like for the first time, I truly understood what she meant by ‘midnight break’.”
Time Read: One Day.
