*Cayenne's family hasn't had the easiest time, but they have stuck together and lived their life in the way they know is best for them.
*Cayenne feels a bit conflicted between her family "ways" and the way the rest of the kids behave at school.
*As hard as she tries to fit in and keep her family situation a secret, Cayenne finds it more and more difficult to keep the two lives seperate.
*She has to learn does she want to fit in or does she want to stand out.
What I Thought of It - Five Observations/Reflections... *The story was written in prose and was quite beautifully written.
*I so enjoyed getting to know Cayenne and could feel her conflict between home and school life.
*The chapters were short and made for a quick and easy read. I found myself reading one more chapter, then another, then another.
*The supporting characters were strong and added greatly to the story.
*Overall, an enjoyable read and certainly made me think what young people are living through and trying to hide that "truth" from their peers at school.
Who Should Read It... *I would put this novel in all fourth, fifth, and sixth grade classroom. I also think it would make for a strong class read aloud because there would be so much to discuss. The story would also be perfect for middle-school readers. Well written and engaging! Happy Reading...
