It's a short book, with a mere fifty seven pages devoted to the story and it's designed to appeal to the reluctant teen reader. Unfortunately there's no indication of this on the cover of the book (a peel-off sticker would be excellent) and I worry that it simply won't find its way to the young people who could really benefit from it. It's a good story based around an event which teens will know about and Maddy's behaviour and attitudes (they will understand how her parents make her suffer...) will not be unknown to them. The book will appeal to reluctant readers too - good clear font, double spaced to make reading easy and slightly off-white pages which cut out any glare.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Real Test (Shades 2.0) by Jill Atkins]].
This book will probably appeal most to girls, but there are books in the same series aimed at boys. We can recommend [[Death on Toast (Shades 2.0) by John Townsend]]. Girls looking for something similar will probably enjoy [[Shadow Girl by Sally Nicholls]].
