A review by snchard
Closer to Nowhere by Ellen Hopkins

3.0

It's always difficult for me to keep my brain in the middle grade fiction space when the audiobook narrators are so obviously adults. This is the first Ellen Hopkins I've actually read (though not the first in my TBR list) and it was beautifully written. Very tough topics for kids--death of a parent, abuse, family tension, meltdowns--were all handled delicately and in ways I could definitely see kids understanding.
