The Rules of Survival by Nancy Werlin

Werline, tells a tale thru the eyes of a teen age boy. Matt is only 13 and has more responsibilities than a grown man. He cares for and protects his sisters from the vicious antics of his mentally unstable mother. The characters are so realistic your heart aches for them as your anger builds towards their mother, Nikki. This book is about determination, fear and hope. This is an emotionally strong book. It won't shake you to the core like David Pelzer's horrific memoir's but it will make you stop for a moment and think of all the children who suffer from abuse sexual, verbal, physical and/or emotional. 

Grade: A 

  If you know or suspect someone who is abusing a child or children please take the time to call, Child Protective Services. Be their unheard voices.
