In this book, we follow Charlene, a teenage girl in the foster care system and wants nothing more than to see her little sister again. Charlene has been through a lot and she finds comfort in knitting. The book explores hard-hitting topics such as racial bias, being in the care system as a teenager, and the juvenile criminal justice system. 

I really enjoyed this book and I read it in one sitting. It made me think of when I was younger and reading the Tracy Beaker books and I really like that.
