Authors: Claire and Mia Fountaine
Rating: 8.5
Why I gave it my rating: It has a confusing start to the book, but pulls you in and is an overall great book. It releases your interest at times, but always pulls you right back in. Make sure you are the appropriate reading range because there is a lot of cursing within the book.

The mother with always be there for the child and when the mother needs to care for the child she will be there for her. Mia and Claire’s relationship hits hard turns that many child to mother’s don’t experience. When Mia’s ‘Ex-Dad’ is found doing terrible and unthinkable things to Mia, and when Claire finds out she has to think about how to handle the situation and she decides to file a lawsuit. This is one of the many things that changes their relationship, and brings them closer, yet farther apart. When Mia thinks she is getting too close and thinks the only way to not hurt her mother is to push herself away from her mother by running away. She takes her life in her own hands, when Claire tries everything while losing their relationship, they find the boot camp in Eastern Europe. Which changes Mia’s life for the better and really brings them closer together when Mia decides she still needs her mother.

It’s a warning and that extra step that could’ve been taken to save Mia from even starting the drugs and getting her help prior because she would've known that other people feel the same way.

This school really helped her through and get what help she needed. ]]> 2017-03-10 00:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/emmaleeho11/rib3tpdhfgn/wish/159159911 Picture Two: emmaleeho11 https://padlet.com/emmaleeho11/rib3tpdhfgn/wish/159160434 This is a picture of the school/bedrooms. In the book you imagine something more confined and much worse than this for as what Mia says the windows are locked and don't open more than a few inches, and there is no escape. This building looks almost inviting and not harmless, this picture is important because it shows and helps you realize how she lived for many months until the founders were accused of abuse. ]]> 2017-03-10 00:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/emmaleeho11/rib3tpdhfgn/wish/159160434 Picture Three: emmaleeho11 https://padlet.com/emmaleeho11/rib3tpdhfgn/wish/159161281 These are two of the founders of Morava Academy that were arrested for the abuse of the kids. Steve and Glenda were accused of depriving them of there rights, Glen(Glenda) is talked about a lot through out the book, and she is a big influence in Mia's changing. ]]> 2017-03-10 00:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/emmaleeho11/rib3tpdhfgn/wish/159161281
