Honestly, I have mixed emotions while reading this book. As a social work student I have found that this book brings up a lot of important points and issues about foster care and social services as well as brings up a lot of the emotional aspects of the job. With that being said I also found that there are some ethical concerns raised with this book. In a way, I feel that Glass is exploiting these children by writing about them.
pickI adore The Bad Seed series and this one is Halloween themed. Mr. Seed is freaking out because he can‘t find the right costume so he tries to postpone trick or treating for a day. Pumpkin seed convinces him to relax & enjoy the holiday. Jace loves this series. 4⭐️
Also using this for the book scavenger hunt for purple.

pickWhat a sad story about a young boy who was severely abused by his biological mother. Dave Pelzer tells of the tragic ways his alcoholic mother tortured him. Foster care didn‘t improve his life situations much . Foster parents and their charges don‘t always work for as it should for the child. Often times it takes several homes before the Foster parents & children fit well. 4/5
pickBoth these books were 5 🌟 they were very different, but both made me cry. I now get the obsession with the Throne of Glass series!!! Lorcan and Elide ❤️
The book discusses Pelzer's struggling with his ability to fit in and adapt to the new environment around him as he is put into foster care. It also talks about the kindness of his foster parents and other people around him as well as his inability to brush his mother aside.

This is such an amazing book! The first time I read it, I was like, omg this is the perfect book for me.
Winter 1970, Daly City, California—I‘m alone. I‘m hungry and I‘m shivering in the dark. I sit on top of my hands at the bottom of the stairs in the garage. My head is tilted backward.

Great reading by talented Di Ciruolo at Copper Dog books last night! If you haven‘t read Di‘s powerful memoir of resilience & healing by a sexual abuse survivor & veteran of the foster care system, get yourself a copy. An important read. #memoir #survivor #fostercare #resilience
pick5 stars for this moving, vivid gut-punch of a memoir. The author‘s brutally honest depiction of sexual & psychological abuse & the complex failures of the foster care system will challenge you, but her survival and hard-won hope make this a journey very much worth taking. #fostercare #trauma #memoir
