Reviews
“Rottman makes a promising debut with this YA novel about an abused teenager who gradually comes to trust another human being…. The book concludes credibly-there are no easy answers. Sean has discovered the heroism in everyday acts of courage-and his message is a powerful one for adolescents.” —Publishers Weekly
“This earnest first novel…gives readers both a realistic picture of the damage done and reason to hope…. [Rottman] gives readers a convincing and difficult protagonist and a fresh perspective on what it means to be a hero.” —School Library Journal
“It hits the nail on the head about how our current society may be interpreted by our young people….excellent character development and plot sequencing.” —Chrisitan Library Journal
