This book is about a girl named Barbie, whose mother threw her into a world of âglitter and glamâ; using Barbie to relive her life and make her a star. Barbie is thrown into a situation that claims her innocence, claims her childhood, and raps away any normal childhood that Barbie could ever dream of.
As Barbie tries to live her life, and battling the horrors that her life has brought using drugs, sex, and mutilation to forget the past; a fairy named Mab come into her life. With the help of Mab, Barbie is able to grow strong and overcome her fears, nightmares, and help others in her situation. Barbie meets another like her, a boy who has gone through the same situation as she did; Griffin has secrets as well, and his own personal hell.
This book contains drugs abuse, sexual content, sexual situations, sexual abuse, child abuse, mention of child molestation, and situations with âcuttingâ. Though this book is said to be recommended for ages 10 and up; I HIGHLY recommend that the parents read this book first, and understand that they need to communicate with their children if they choose to let them read this.
If you want a look into the dark, psychological aspects of children in and/or were in abusive situations, this is the book for you; but do not take this book lightly, understand that this stuff does go on even to this day, and try to learn from this book even though it very depressing. This book is well written, and the author grasps the horrors that children (even grown adults still shudder to this day with the trauma that happened to them as children) of what they went through. Though I wouldn't let my child read this book at age 10-14; I do recommend that people do read this book for knowledge.
With knowledge, there is power, and with the power of the knowledge; we can one day rid the world of this horror of child abuse/molestation, so that our children's children will not have to worry about ever being in these types of situation.
