The Girl in Between | Sarah Carroll
10 posts | 8 read | 6 to read
I know the mill has a story cos theres something strange going on. I heard something. Ive decided that Im going to find out what it is later today when Ma leaves. Cos even if it is scary, we live here and were never leaving. So if theres something going on, I need to know. In an old, abandoned mill in the heart of Dublin, Sam and her ma take shelter from their memories of life on the streets, and watch the busy world go by. The windows are boarded up and the floorboards falling in, but for Sam neither of those things matter. Its The Castle a home of her own like no other, and a place of safety. But hard as she tries to hold on to her world, things are starting to change. As the men in yellow coats close in on their refuge, and her ma spins further out of control, Sam finds herself seeking friendship in the ghosts of the mill and questioning who is really there.

I went back and forth between pick and so-so, but chose pick because it is worth checking out. Not something i fell in love with or would read again, but I liked it enough to read it all in one day. it is a haunting story of homelessness

Child homelessness is seldom the theme of YA, but this was done so well. Sad but good.

The main character (the girl) drew me in from the start. She had an innocence about her, a precociousness that comes with childhood, but also an underlying sense of understanding and that innate self-preservation mode that comes with a difficult life. Told from the girl‘s perspective, details are shared in a way that only a child can get away with (adds a great emotional dimension). Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

AmbityScambity I received this arc free via #kidlitexchange network for an honest review. It's a "teen" book, but I think it'll appeal more to younger middle-grade readers. 7y

I'm torn on how to feel about this book. The ending confused me but I liked the message of this book.

A story that highlights homelessness and drug addiction/alcoholism following a mother and daughter trying to survive on the streets. A quick read that I finished in a day.

I tried to read other reviews to see if I understand what happened but I can't find anyone who shares spoilers lol.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

valeriegeary It's a pretty cool cover though 7y

This book is sad in so many different ways. It shines a spotlight on addiction, parenting on the streets, the relationship between a mother and daughter and how drugs can make someone selfish. No child should live on the streets. I kind of suspected the ending but not until I had about 40 pages to read. Definitely recommend this book.

Desirai I'm currently reading this. I'm not too far in yet. 7y
