The first in a series of books from foster carer Casey Watson. 'We're hungry,' his brother cried. 'We're hungry, Justin. Please find us some food.' Justin was five years old; his brothers two and three. Their mother, a heroin addict, had left them alone again. Later that day, after trying to burn down the family home, Justin was taken into care. Justin was taken into care at the age of five after deliberately burning down his family home. Six years on, after 20 failed placements, Justin arrives at Casey's home. Casey and her husband Mike are specialist foster carers. They practice a new style of foster care that focuses on modifying the behaviour of profoundly damaged children. They are Justin's last hope, and it quickly becomes clear that they are facing a big challenge. Try as they might to make him welcome, he seems determined to strip his life of all the comforts they bring him, violently lashing out at schoolmates and family and throwing any affection they offer him back in their faces. After a childhood filled with hurt and rejection, Justin simply doesn't want to know. But, as it soon emerges, this is only the tip of a chilling iceberg.A visit to Justin's mother on Boxing Day reveals that there are some very dark underlying problems that Justin has never spoken about. As the full picture becomes clearer, and the horrific truth of Justin's early life is revealed, Casey and her family finally start to understand the pain he has suffered...

 A fantastic heart wrenching book that i could not put down x

| | See all tylahpie123's reviews (1)

I have read a lot of true life books along these lines but no other writer has ever produced such a true to life, honest book like this. i found it impossible to put down?!The story tells of a badly abused child who everybody seems to give up on, until casey and her family make a break through. reading a book from a both a childs point of view and the carers was fascinating and insightful. apparently Casey is the next Kathy Glass, well i beg to differ, Casey Watson is in a league of her own!! a fantastically written, touching first novel! i cannot wait for her next book!!x
