(originally posted May 16, 2007 on BookTrail@edublogs.org)When Matt and Callie witness Murdoch McIlvane defuse a situation between an abusive father and his small son at the Cumberland Farms convenience store, Matt knows he must to get Murdoch to help Callie, Emmy and him get away from Nikki. Nikki, their unstable mother, would be a fantastic villian if this story was a fantasy, but this is realistic fiction and Nikki is down-right scary. Matt doesn't trust the system and won't go through the regular channels to seek help. When he finally does involve Murdoch, Nikki ups the level of her psychotic game. Werlin keeps you turning pages to find out if these kids will ever be able to break away from Nikki.

This was a very interesting book i would definitly recommend it.
Matt is very protective of his younger siblings and i can relate most of the time. Niki is a very loving and caring mom when she wants to be but somtimes she acts as if she were insane.
