After their mother died of cancer, Jack and Pippa faced problems. Jack would
pick up more fights and Pippa stopped talking. Now that school is starting up,
they find that their family funds are not high in numbers. When Jack and Pippa
uncover a crazy secret, they don’t know who to trust. Can the family of three
come back together, or will they be separated by secrets?
I really liked this book. It showed the resilience of the human spirit
and just how far some people will go to keep their family together. Mature content is PG because there is talk of
illegal activities and the things that weigh people down. Violence is G-PG
because there are some fights but it doesn’t go into descriptions.
