Hurricane child was a story that I didn’t want to put down, and found myself thinking about what was going to happen next on the days I couldn’t get to it. Loved Caroline’s character, all of that stubbornness and anger and bravery and intelligence, a really well rounded and whole person that despite everything was just so loveable. Also queer?? Amazing had no idea that it would be a main element of the story, and really enjoyed the way that it was investigated by these children. Also the dialogue and decisions that the children made were all very realistic, and it really felt like I was actually watching children interacting. Highly enjoyed and very well done.
