Despite its dark subject matter I found this book extremely sensitively handled..

Reminiscent of “Room” it builds a convincing picture and has a satisfying conclusion.

It is clearly a book aimed at children and young adults but doesn’t suffer for this.

I found the first part of this book frustrating...What was going on? Who were the others? Where were they? 
Nothing was clear.... was any of it even real? How old was she???

The frustration of being slow drip fed information was actually a great tactic,as I raced through the book for some answers.
Ele was an interesting and unique narrator... though I question the actions of the people that find her.
By the time we got to the end of the book,I was pleased to have the majority of my questions answered and a lot clarified .
Definitely something different...in a good way.
