Picked up from the World Book Night event in Colchester.
Given to BookAmbler during meet up at the Layer Fox so that it can be passed on to Chamonix44.
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.

This book went home with a friend, Sandy, today. She will try to leave a journal entry here, but if she can't do it, then I will help her!

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.

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?
I will give this book a go.
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.

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?!!

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.

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.
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!
Time to move this book on.
