About this listen
After taking a few weeks off work, Casey is presented with a new foster child: 14-year-old Elise, whose Mum left her at just five years old.
At first, she’s no trouble at all, that is until she falsely accuses another carer, Jan, of acting inappropriately towards her. It turns out this isn’t the first lie Elise has told – her previous carer was constantly following up allegations Elise had made of people bullying her, trying to have sex with her, or hurting her physically. With some reservations, Casey agrees to take Elise on long-term, but when she makes some dark claims about her mum, Casey doesn’t know whether to believe her. In any case, she is determined to find out the truth…

Another great memwa.
Really enjoyed this book. Casey always does everything possible to help every child she cares for and never gives up on any of them. I was happy that Elize got a happy ending after what she went through.

can't unhear it
The only thing I can say about the narration is that the voice used for Tyler sounds a lot like horrid Henry from the cartoon and now I can't unhear it haha

Awful narration / voices
I really struggled to listen to this. Actually quite liked the story itself, but wish I’d read it as the horrendous over the top over acted voices for the characters were so distracting they turned a good book into a chore, distracting me from the story itself. By chapter 3 I wanted to return the book as it was painful to listen to, but as I’d bought it a long while ago and only just got round to, it was too late. Disappointing, and won’t buy any books by the same narrator (checking library now in case I already have!)

Returned!
The narration was awful! Made it unbearable. I managed to get as far as the part where a 14 year old is blamed for a man looking at photos of her, rather than the man being blamed for looking at them in the first place! Apparently it doesn't make it his fault because he wouldn't have looked at photos of a 14 year old if he wasn't given the opportunity!
