Born Scared – Kevin Brooks
Ebook provided by NetGalley for review. Thank you.
Read May 19
Elliot is 13 and afraid of everything. He copes through isolation, a
controlled environment, and a carefully regimented medication scheme. Due to
some unfortunate timing his medication is about to run out and as tomorrow is
Christmas his prescription has been pushed through as an emergency, the snag?
His mum must go out in a snowstorm in a trip that should only take 10 minutes.
She doesn’t return and Elliot makes the agonising decision to try and find her
at a friend’s house, her most likely final destination. It’s not far in
distance but the journey is epic and arduous!
This book was intense! So much happened in such a short space of time.
It makes for quite a narrow perspective and not a lot of other characters or
time spent developing them.
4/5 stars
