I like the story

I read this book in high school I had to read it again. it's a good story

Great YA Read

This trilogy was highly recommended by some young adults. As an ELA teacher, I wanted to have an idea of thia writer's style. With 2 down and 2 to go, I am impressed. This book was typical but the first one had an unexpected twist!

It was amazing just like I remember from school

Bestttttt book I ever listen and read love everything about it read it in high school

Relatable

Needs different narrator to bring more realness to the characters. Felt kind of dull. Other than that it kept me wondering what was gonna happen.

My summer reading book

this app really came in handy, ik i wouldn't be able to finish the book by the next day...i actually love this book😭❤ill say this was one of my favorite books😳💯😼✊

Great

I love this book I first read it In middle school I had to find it

The topic will hold me back from giving to kids

This book kept me reading just so I can figure out if the person got justice but I feel this book covers a lot of topics I wish my child never experiences. I also would be hesitant to give it to kids unless I know their parents have had certain conversation about safe touch.

good

I read this for school, I really liked it. deals with some tough stuff though.

Excellent Book

Beware… it’s gruesome and graphic, but it’s so gripping. I was full of tears and furry the whole time!

A book I used to read when I was in middle school

I finally had the audacity to buy this audible. The reason is I have perfect memory to which I want to accomplish by reading books that I use to read when I was in middle school. This was one of them that I have read during middle school. I am currently in a university school and my gosh listening to this audiobook made me go to the past of middle school when I used to read a lot of books especially Sharon Draper books. I want to accomplish by reading the series of this book and as well copper sun. Also remind myself that I want to re-read my middle school books as I did when I first pick up these books. I just had that feeling to go to the past of my middle school.
