I am reviewing a copy of Caprice through Change Sky Audio and Netgalley:

Let me start off by saying that though Caprice is a Children's Book, about a Middle Grade Reader it does deal with a sensitive topic which is the Sexual Molestation of a Child, so please read this book with your child if you are concerned about how they are going to react to it:

Caprice should be excited, She has been offered a place at the school of her dreams, where she's just had a fantastic summer. But this great opportunity coincides with a lot of internal doubt and the disturbing news that her long-estranged grandmother has fallen ill and may be near death. As Caprice tries to figure out her future, she is pulled back toward her past, and the abuse she endured from her uncle when she was little,an abuse she's never told anyone about.

Coe Booth has written painful but ultimately healing novel about finding support from your parents and friends, articulating your truth, and choosing your own path, for Middle Grade readers, and has done so in an incredibly sensitive manner.

I give Caprice five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
