The Things She's Seen

Average rating4.3
The Things She's Seen (AKA Catching Teller Crow) is aimed at young adults, but still delivers a captivating story with a lot of adult themes. It features a strong premise and a unique writing style that consistently kept me interested.
I am unsure how an actual young adult might react to this story, but I think the themes of dealing with abuse, racism, and the fallibility of police would make it a great book for a classroom, but there are a few scenes that are quite graphic--possibly too much. This book also covers the experience of Aboriginal people in Australia, a topic that I think deserves even more attention in literature.
The book's short length made it a quick read, but definitely delivered a fully fleshed out story. Very reminiscient of The Lovely Bones, but with an additional hint of The Sixth Sense. Definitely would recommend!
