Too Scared to Tell

Cathy Glass

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

The true story of a 6-year-old boy with a dreadful secret. Oskar's school teacher raises the alarm. Oskar's mother is abroad and he has been left in the care of 'friends', but has been arriving in school hungry, unkempt, and with bruises on his arms, legs and body. Experienced foster carer Cathy Glass is asked to look after him, but as the weeks pass her concerns deepen. Oskar is far too quiet for a child of six and is clearly scared of something or someone. And who are those men parked outside his school watching him?

    This poor, poor little boy. This story really pulled at my heartstrings and just shows the bare truth of what children are facing all over the world.

    My blood boiled at what these horrible men subjected Oskar to, and the way Cathy dealt with it was great. An emotional but fantastic read!
