A Parent's Review--read this! (with adult guidance!!!), 28 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Before I start this review let me say that I am the mother of two (11 and 9), and a grade school teacher. This book covers a subject that is every parent's nightmare! (Your child fights for their life, and you are not able to help them.) All kids believe that they are immortal, and because of this, they are fearless. But we, parent's, know better. We try to protect them, and teach them right from wrong. We pray that they will make the right choices in life, but know that sometimes they won't. It is this fearlessness, and the possibility that things just may go terribly wrong, that is discussed in this book. Not in a preachy parent style, but rather from the viewpoint of a scared and helpless child. As I read this (and by the way, I read it in one seating-not able to put it down--not able to catch my breath),I realized that this is a book that my children must read. Every child should read it!! But not without adult guidance. The book and it's subject matter call for discussion. Your child may need comforting after this book, but it also will wake them up to the fact that there are dangers out there, and they must be careful. Decisions made in the blink of an eye can change an entire lifetime, or in this case, end a life. PLEASE, read this one and then discuss it!!!!!
