Sounds like a book to give parents nightmares.
Wow. I think this has potential. I'm assuming the Mockingbird connection comes in from To Kill a Mockingbird?
Definitely some potential there and I'm glad you mentioned it because I'd never heard of it before. Thanks!
I'd not heard of this book so picked it up on a lark at BEA, now that I keep seeing more and more of it I'm quite excited to read it.
