Review:
This book talks about fitting in, surviving bullies and connecting to a person and knowing them through things and people they loved and treasured.
This is about Elise, an orphan who grew up with her loving aunt and uncle. As she struggled to fit in with her peers, she had her friendship with her childhood friend at risk. On top of that, she found keys that could open doors in knowing her parents.
This book is recommendable especially to pre-teens cause it will give you insights about growing up, friendship, family and how would you want to shape your future.
