I have mixed feelings regarding this book. I can understand the challenges that Jack Reed faces. Although, I do not agree with the way he dealt with those challenges. The main character Alyssa/Blister is dealing with a lot of stuff, only some that I have personally experienced. This book reminded me that people dealing with crises do what they can to get through the day. There is a saying, "Don't judge me until you walk a mile in my shoes or live a day in my life." I would recommend this book for 6th graders and older. I would also say that 4th and 5th graders may find it helpful if they are dealing with some of the issues Blister is: death of a sibling, a parent with depression, moving, and parents separating.
