Dear Reader

Welcome to BookCrossing and thanks for being a part of World Book Night 2011, the largest book giveaway in history. 1,000,000 specially printed copies of 25 different books changed hands on March 5th 2011 and began their journey from reader to reader. This book is one of them. World Book Night has joined with BookCrossing to help track these books as they travel. You can be a part of that journey by making a comment in the book's journal here on BookCrossing. Your journal entry can say how you got the book, what you thought of it, your plans for it or whatever else you might like to add.

On BookCrossing you may choose to remain anonymous or join (it's free). If you join, you’ll be alerted by e-mail each time someone makes another journal entry for this specific copy of this book (other copies of the book are travelling with their own ID number. Every copy of every book has a unique ID). It’s all confidential (you’re known only by your screen name and no one is ever given your e-mail address) and spam-free.

Thanks in advance for being part of World Book Night and BookCrossing. And happy reading and sharing.

Thanks Ardachy for saving this book for me. I have heard so much about this one, and I'm curious to read it. Thanks for all the other WBN books you managed to pick up for me! I guess Colchester is one of the best places in the UK for bookcrossing! I'm really grateful for what you did!


Journal Entry 6 by chamonix44 at Almelo, Overijssel Netherlands on Saturday, June 18, 2011
Just popped in to say that I started reading this book a few hours ago, and I'm still reading it!!

Journal Entry 7 by chamonix44 at Almelo, Overijssel Netherlands on Saturday, June 18, 2011
I just finished reading this book. It has quite a powerful ending which brought tears to my eyes. What a terrible life Stuart had to endure. In the beginning he seemed a normal happy, helpful and caring little boy, but he suffered taunting from others and then worse. I dont want to spoil the story for others, so I won't say too much. However, he says himself that after he discovered violence then things changed a bit.
I was shocked throughout this story about all the violence, the self mutilation and the way some street people live. When I came to the end of the book, I was shocked even more, but what makes it worse is the realisation that this is a true story, and for some people this way of life still continues out there!
Thank you Ardachy for letting me take a small part in the first "World Book Night", and for letting me add my little bit of history to this book. Now I will see if I can lend it out to others.

I have this book and I am already half way through it. I will write my thoughts on it when I have finished if chamonix44 will sit with me and show me what to do again, like she is doing now! Thank you.

Very sad story. A waste of a life. It made an impression on me.
I have now returned the book to Nicole.

Journal Entry 11 by chamonix44 at Almelo, Overijssel Netherlands on Tuesday, January 17, 2012
I received this book back from my friend Sandy. I have now put it into my WBN book box. I hope someone else will choose to read it. This title doesn't seem to be a popular choice. I think the drugs connection puts people off.
Good Luck little book!

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

I'm having a get-together with expat friends,and lots of them want to read the WBN books This book is going to Delden with Sherry. I will stand over her soon and make her write a journal entry, otherwise we might never get one! Since there is a computer here....why not?

Journal Entry 13 by wingAnonymousFinderwing at Delden, Overijssel Netherlands on Friday, February 24, 2012
I will give this book a go.

Journal Entry 14 by wingAnonymousFinderwing at Delden, Overijssel Netherlands on Friday, April 20, 2012
Read this sad book. It took me a long time because I'm not really into reading, but I did it and all my friends here seem to be so enthusiastic about reading another book that I think I might just take another one home with me today!
As I said, sad book. Brought tears to my eyes.

Journal Entry 15 by chamonix44 at Almelo, Overijssel Netherlands on Friday, April 20, 2012
Thanks Sherry for bringing this book back to me. I'm glad you read it.
I'm also glad I could get you to make a JE here for other readers to see. Now can I persuade you to take another book home to read?!!

Released 11 yrs ago (4/21/2012 UTC) at Gronau, Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Sorry I'm so late with these release notes, but I was a bit overwhelmed with having so many books come back to me, and go out at the same time in April. Anyway, on April 21st this book went home with Janet from Germany. I don't think Janet will make a JE unless I am with her to help her. So it probably won't be until after the book is read.

Journal Entry 17 by wingAnonymousFinderwing at Gronau, Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
It's a true story and quite shocking to some of us who never knew about the sort of life that Stuart had to live. After I read this book I was able to see the film.

Journal Entry 18 by chamonix44 at Almelo, Overijssel Netherlands on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
I received this book today, and it is now back in my 2011 World Book Night Book Box. However, I will be retiring this 2011 box for a while as I want to promote the books in my 2012 WBN book box. I do not have all the titles yet, but I do have quite a few of them. The others are proving very difficult to get hold of. So, until all my 2012 books are out with new readers, this book will be having a rest!

Hallo daar, gelukkige vinder!
Wat leuk dat je op deze pagina bent komen kijken. Als je dit leest, heb je een boek gevonden, zomaar een onverwacht kadootje van mij voor jou... Veel plezier ermee! Hierbij trouwens wat spelregels mbt bookcrossing:

1. Het zou fijn zijn als je meldt dat het veilig bij jou is. Dat mag gewoon in het Nederlands.
2. Daarna kun je het boek gaan lezen en als je wilt nog eens schrijven wat je ervan vond.
3. Mag het boek verder reizen, geef het dan door aan iemand anders, of laat het zomaar ergens weer achter, liefst op een veilige, droge plek. Je kunt via de bookcross-site ook weer melden waar je het hebt neergelegd, zodat anderen ernaar op zoek kunnen gaan...
TIP: Als je het boek op zijn reis wilt volgen, dan kun je je het beste aanmelden als nieuwe bookcrosser (www.bookcrossing.com). Het is erg leuk om erachter te komen hoe het met 'jouw' boek op z'n reis verder gaat!!
Ik zou het erg leuk vinden als je mij
chamonix44 dan opgeeft als referent. Voor Nederlandse uitleg kun je terecht op de volgende site: www.bookcrossing.nl

If you are reading here, then I want to tell you that this is a. FREE . book, and there are no catches! It is now yours! Please read on.....
If you are the finder of this book it would be nice if you could leave a message here to say that you have it. Do not worry because I don't want the book back. It is yours to keep if you want it. I just want to know it is now in safe hands.
