I struggle with rating and reviewing this book. On the one hand, I'm roughly 40 years older than Gray. Perhaps I don't truly remember what it was like to be 11. On the other hand, I read a lot of juvenile fiction, not because I have to, but because I enjoy it. I thought I had a fairly good sense of realism in kids and teens. I found parts of this book highly unrealistic. I could not believe Gray would consistently make the poor choices she makes.
Here's the thing:
Now, as far as the characters left behind when Gray disappears: they were quite interesting! Very well drawn and realistic for the most part. They were just what I'd expect an awkward-aged 11-12 year old girl to be in this situation...almost. There was one point in which I didn't at all believe that anyone would be so self-centered and stupid. Also, I couldn't at all believe that the police did not question the girls with more depth than happened in the book.
All in all, I am not giving the book a star rating because I honestly can't pick a star. It was a riveting read, but not an altogether realistic one. But if it had been realistic, it might have been too frightening to read! I hope this review is a help, as I've tried to describe my thoughts on the book without too much spoilering of it.
