Blimey what a book! I've had this on my shelf for way too long and gosh I wish this has been around when I was younger.
Grace moves to Oregon and to a new house, she finds cries for help written in her new bedroom and wants to find out more about the girl who loved there before her.
As she makes friends with Rosina and Erin, she realises that the girl Lucy was sexually assaulted by 3 boys at her new school, but that the town did nothing.
And so the Nowhere Girls were born, to try to do more, to try to change the broken system, to empower girls.
This book should be read by boys and girls alike, it made me angry, it made me sad and it made me sick reading parts of it, but that's the sign of a great book, that it can make you feel all those things.
Highly recommend this one.
