6.5/10, a rather monotonous book that doesn't capture my attention, maybe it's the writing style. ( )

This book was so good my daughter wanted to know if there was a sequel. Unfortunately, there is not.

The way the characters grew and changed impressed both my daughter and myself.

A great read for children and adults! ( )

Three children arrive at a foster home on the same day, angry, disappointed, and scared. How they learn to cope with their family issues and each other isn't portrayed in a contrived manner, but more realistic...with a touch of hope. Satisfying read, wish it were longer. ( )

I do not full remember this book but I do remember it had a profound impact on me. I read it is a child/pre-teen/young teen (don’t remember exactly but before high school) and it was one of three books from that time that I decided to keep forever. I was a prolific reader at the time but passed on most books, yet this one remains in my collection in tatters. It was understandable and relatable despite being so far removed from “the average” experience. It started my life-long desire to adopt or even foster, despite that I have never managed to fulfil it.
