Coe Booth brings a wholly sensitive treatment to addressing a very tough topic, the emotional and mental impacts of sexual abuse on a child. Caprice's dread simmers as her story unfolds for readers. For a while we are not sure what has happened but are witness to Caprice's mental state while she processes difficult memories brought to the surface when her grandmother becomes ill. This book perceptively models the importance of finding someone trustworthy with whom to share a secret burden. Developmentally appropriate for the targeted age group of older elementary to middle school. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

After a wonderful seven weeks at Ainsley International School, twelve-year-old Caprice has been offered a full scholarship and she should be delighted, but instead she is full of doubts because what happened at the last night dance has brought back the memory of being sexually abused by her uncle as a four-year-old; worse, her maternal grandmother is ill, and that means going back to the house in Baltimore where it all happened--Caprice has never told anybody but now, as she realizes that her grandmother knew, she tries to find the words to tell someone, and the strength to finally confront her abuser.
