Written with an unusual writing style using sparse punctuation and dialogue, Daisy's teenage wit and humor keeps this story from becoming totally depressing. Besides relying on their wits to survive, other serious situations including violence, forced isolation, and separation from loved ones, jolted me more than once into thinking "this is not the life a child should live, but I know they do."
Because the content can be harsh and uncomfortable for some younger readers, it has cross-over appeal for the adult reader.
This was a difficult book to read, but I don't regret that I did.
