Safe
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Good realistic fiction about a girl who is raped at age 13 and is trying to put herself back together again. This book shows how she tries to cut herself off from her friends because she feels dirty and thinks she needs to be by herself to heal. This could be a powerful book to certain readers. Shaw's a good realistic fiction author; her book The Boy in the Basement was chilling. I gave this book a 5/5.
Mesmerizing. Reminiscent of SPEAK by Laurie Halse Anderson

Susan Shaw is an incredible talent. This book is gripping and haunting. It's reminiscent of the book SPEAK by Laurie Halse Anderson. Definitely a must-read for teens.
