Here's the thing about being Inside. Ain't no one believes that they are. Ele has never been Outside. She has never seen a tree or felt the rain. Her whole world is Inside With her books and the Others and Him. But here's the secret . . . Ele's getting out. For good. 'Impossible to put down - this is a writer to watch.' C.J. Skuse

Kathleen's review - There have been enough accounts of children locked in attics or bunkers for this book to be entirely believable, and the mental illnesses that arise from ways of coping with abuse have also been well documented. I found this book a compelling read.
