Readers understand that there’s no guarantee of a happy ending but are left with hope for one. Carolyn’s bravery rings true the book feels honest and her voice is just right. Watching Jimmy is a fast read, and that’s a good thing, since once started it’s impossible to put down.The only thing I didn’t like was the scary cover art. She’s determined to keep Jimmy safe from Uncle Ted from here on out. Uncle Ted tells everyone that Jimmy fell from a swing, but Carolyn, Jimmy’s friend and this little book’s heroine, saw what really happened. That’s bad news for Jimmy, who was brain-damaged by his “Uncle” Ted and needs an operation. It’s 1958, and Canada doesn’t yet have universal health care.
