Media Reviews
A book that all teenagers and parents of teenagers should really read * Boston Globe *
An extraordinary work- a document of horrifying reality * The New York Times Book Review *
It shows the awful pressures which plague even the 15-year-old who needs all her energies to cope with growing; the isolation of one who wanders off the track and, alone, finds it impossible to fight her way back * Guardian *
