cilie 's review for:

Thornhill by Pam Smy
4.0
mysterious sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This book have two timelines, one in 1982 told in diary form and one present day (2017) told entirely in pictures (silent novel style). I really liked this juxtaposition. The books major theme is child loneliness, with bulling, grief and adult neglect also being explored. 
This book was surprisingly creepy (I am adult) and I did NOT foresee the conclusion.
