Teenager Jimmy's world ends when a policeman takes his mother off to jail. He's suddenly thrust into a very rich lifestyle with his strange real family. They are abusive, and have many secrets to hide.Okay. I don't generally read books about abuse, because it gets me really angry.  Though this book is like chips and dip. You can't just eat one. You have to eat it all. So I read it and was okay, until I get to the part when he lived with his 'real' family. The coldness of his grandfather, and the strangeness of his parents irked me. It seemed from that point on, sprinkled throughout, there was cruelty, abuse, and lies going on. Next it went where I didn't want it to go. There's parts in this story that upset me.  I can't say too much as I don't want to give everything away. This book was well written, and  the way it ended is going to lead to some more truth, some of  which was revealed to Jimmy at the end of the book. You gotta keep going to the end and believe me...you are going to want to read what's going to happen next.
