Holy is a girl who has been living in five foster homes over the last two years because her mom was addicted to heroin and died. She give up on everything and decides to run away, she is tired of being locked in the basement by her foster parents and of her foster father touching her like nothing is happening. Holy is is twelve, this means she is wiser and can escape from the cruelty. One of her teachers told her to keep a journal. With the help of that journal we will keep track of her adventure.
This book is full of adventure. This book will be great for someone who loves action, like jumping into trains snatching food, clothes from outside stands and breaking into houses. If you are a teacher who has an adventurous side you’ll love to read this book, it doesn’t have any inappropriate language so you can read this to your class, too.
