Intriguing and heartbreaking insight into the unpredictable and lonely world of homeless children. It's also a lesson on forgiveness. It's a skillful writer who can seamlessly weave all the foreshadowed clues into the fabric of the story and leave the reader thinking how it'll end but surprised nonetheless. 3 stars.
The Girl In Between by Sarah Carroll is the kind of story that stays with you. The young main character and the protective emotions the writing elicits; the fact that it takes on the very serious issue of being homeless; the fact that the book stresses the universality of this story by not naming its characters; and the fact of a seemingly abrupt ending are all reminders of a harsh reality and the makings of a memorable book.
