Beck by Mal Peet

4.0

I have to say that although this book is down as a YA read, I think I'd probably withhold it from all but our older students, 16+. The abuse at the beginning and the subsequent violence is quite disturbing. The story is told in an easy, relaxed style and seamlessly switches between Peet and Rosoff (who finished it after Peet died). That in itself was enough for me to keep reading, what talents they are. Wow.
