My overall opinion

This book is an amazing book to read, and cherishes a great moral. The book cover is really beautiful as well, because it shows all of the protagonist's mother's belongings and a shadow of her gazing at them. The imagery use of this book is also effective and allows the reader to be taken to the constructed world of the text. The blurb also has a suspenseful feeling to it and makes the reader get interested to what awaits them inside the book. Another positive feedback I'm going to talk about is the way Linda Newbery describes the characters texting to each other, for example "Hope u had a gd day. C u @ 5.30." (p.2) Overall I recommend this book to ages 13 and up. The reason being, its a bit complex and hard to understand but majority thumbs up!
