4 stars – I read it all and loved it!
5 stars – I read it all, loved it, and I would read it again!

I absolutely loved and hated this book. I am pretty sure I cried, gasped, and laughed throughout this whole book. The main character, June, is a little girl who is abused physically and emotionally by her step mother and little step sister. Her dad and teachers have no idea about what is going on with her even though she has tried to tell them many times. Not only does she have a horrible life at home, but the other children at school bully her. Her one little beam of hope comes one birthday when her dad gives her a new bike. As she is out exploring one day, she meets her soon to be best friend, Blister. He is the only thing that gets her through her days.

The reader is taken on a sad journey of June's life up to her teenage years when the unthinkable happens! I am not going to reveal what happens, but I will just say that I did not see it coming.

This is a great book, but it is extremely sad. Don't read this book when you are not in a good state of mind.
