      abstract = {A candid and fierce middle grade novel about sisterhood  and sexual abuse, by two-time Newbery Honor winner and #1  New York Times best seller Kimberly Brubaker Bradley,  author of The War that Saved My Life. Ten-tear-old Della  has always had her older sister, Suki: When their mom went  to prison, Della had Suki. When their mom's boyfriend took  them in, Della had Suki. When that same boyfriend did  something so awful they had to run fast, Della had Suki.  Suki is Della's own wolf -- her protector. But who has been  protecting Suki? Della might get told off for swearing at  school, but she has always known how to keep quiet where it  counts. Then Suki tries to kill herself, and Della's world  turns so far upside down, it feels like it's shaking her by  the ankles. Maybe she's been quiet about the wrong things.  Maybe it's time to be loud. In this powerful novel that  explodes the stigma around child sexual abuse and leavens  an intense tale with compassion and humor, Kimberly  Brubaker Bradley tells a story about two sisters, linked by  love and trauma, who must find their own voices before they  can find their way back to each other. - Publisher.},
