This was a wonderful book. At the onset, it's just about a young boy in a rather unhappy house: his beloved grandmother just died, his parents argue all the time, and his twin brother is disabled. Then, it reveals a subtle underlayer--of child molestaton, by trusted adults in very normal settings. For me, this was quite a page-turner. A short book, but long on message and depth. Beautifuly and very clearly written. Recommended!!
