Summary: One of the best books I have ever read
Review: Annabelle was the worst antagonist I had ever heard of or seen. She thew a pot of boiling water on Laurie and blamed Laurie. This book takes you through twists and turns of Annabelle's and Laurie's horriable time together.

Summary: Don't Hurt Laurie
Review: Don't Hurt Laurie is about a girl named Laurie who is going through something terrible. Laurie's father ran away when she was little and Laurie's mother, Annabelle, takes all her pressure and stress out on Laurie by beating her. Laurie has kept a secret that Annabelle abuses her for a long time. One day Annabelle goes too far and Laurie can't take it anymore. She has to tell someone about how she feels. My personal experience from this book was really great. I have never felt like Laurie. She has gone through so much, and has kept her secret for as long as she can remember. I enjoyed the book because it showed me how lucky I am to live in a community where I am safe, unlike Laurie. Will Laurie ever get help? My favorite part of the book was when Laurie moved and found a new friend who she tells many of her thoughts to. My least favorite part was when Laurie couldn't decide whether or not to tell her secret to her new friend, George, because I wanted to tell her how she should handle this situation. I would definitely recommend this book to someone who enjoys exciting, breathtaking stories, that doesn't bring someone to a world of fantasy, but to a world of reality.

Summary: Don't Hurt Laurie
Review: Don't Hurt Laurie is about an eleven year old girl named Laurie. Laurie's mother beats her and does some horrible things. However Laurie covers up her mother's cruel marks by saying she is clumsy and bumps into walls, falls down stairs, and cuts herself with knives. She has told these excuses this all her life. Laurie's mother, whom she calls Annabelle, tries very hard to move Laurie to houses and apartments at least every other month, so Laurie doesn't have any social interactions with anyone her age. One day Annabelle goes too far! Will Laurie ever get the courage to tell anyone about Annabelle? Will Annabelle stop abusing her?
I enjoyed reading this book because it is about a girl that at first is weak and then becomes stronger. It saddened me to read about the things Annabelle did to Laurie. However while reading this book I realized how lucky I am. I have a family that loves me, I go to a great school, and my friends and teachers respect me. I couldn't ask for anything more.
I would most definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves thrilling realities. This book is like a roller coaster of life, with all its ups and downs.

Summary: Good book
Review: I thought this book was a good, quick read. It's great for younger readers because it's easy to read. In some parts it's painfully wrenching. It helps you to realize that you shouldn't just pity victims of child abuse, they are real people. I thought that the ending was a little too "happy". Almost too good to happen except in a book. I will never forget this book, I reccommend it to all readers.
