The book Don’t Hurt Laurie is about a
girl named Laurie being abused by her mother. It is realistic fiction and the
main characters are Laurie and her mom Annabelle. The theme of the book is child abuse and the story takes place
at her house and school even though she moves all the time. I think the
author’s message is to inform you that this stuff really happens. The mood of
the book is sad but I would definitely recommend it. I made a connection in
knowing that, this stuff happens everyday. The author has written other books
such as Hostage and Kidnapped. The author is Willo Davis Roberts and she is an
amazing writer. If you read the book, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
