Amazing book! You’re rooting for the two main characters from the very start of the first page. I wasn’t sure if I would like the POV being a little kid because I’ve never read with that POV before, but it was actually great! It’s so emotional and has you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

Moderate: Rape and Kidnapping
The whole book is centered around a kidnapped mother and child. There is mention of rape but because it is in the POV of a little kid, it isn’t very detailed.
