The way he was always able to provide for her, care for her, at such a young age. But Ren wasn't your average child - he'd been through enough to have a maturity beyond his years so that helped me buy in. Plus, they weren't *always* on their own.Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-54474060953154039012018-09-26T05:41:18.858-04:002018-09-26T05:41:18.858-04:00Thanks Sophie!!

I hadn't heard of this book before now, but it does look like something I might enjoy. I might have a hard time believing that a 10 year old boy kept a baby alive too though...

When I skimmed the synopsis, I assumed the girl was older, but it wasn't until I read your review that I realized their ages. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be for him to care for this baby, and why he's willing to risk his safety. You've definitely piqued my interest!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.doyoudog-ear.com/" rel="nofollow">Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear?</a>Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-32267788495524932632018-09-23T04:54:31.927-04:002018-09-23T04:54:31.927-04:00This made me laugh out loud!
