Review: Because of You
Gaby Meares
Beautiful story set in Sydney, dealing with homelessness with compassion and empathy. “Because of You” never preaches, but instead draws you into Tiny’s world, and shows the reader how easy it is to slip into homelessness and helplessness. Harry never moralizes. Unlike other stories that deal with similar issues, “Because of You” is not a dark read, it is in fact an illuminating story, with a light touch that leaves the reader feeling positive and enlightened.
I highly recommend this book to readers from Year 7 +.
