Baby Teeth
Hanna trying to rattle her mom’s cage and she’s doing a great job at it. Call me twisted by I was enjoying the ways that Hanna was tormenting her mother. Not that I, myself would want to be a victim of Hanna’s but Hanna was a crafty individual and she would stop at nothing to get a reaction from her mother. To her father, Hanna was an innocent child and it wasn’t until later in the novel when Hanna was seen by outsiders that her father, finally saw Hanna for who she truly was.
I couldn’t believe that Hanna was only a seven-year old child. The way that her mind worked and by her actions, she seemed to be much older. She seems way too shrewd, devious, and intellectual to be a seven-year old.
Hat’s off to Hanna’s mother for everything she did for Hanna even though her daughter made her life so miserable. Even when her mother tries to lock herself in the bathroom for private time, Hanna can’t leave her alone. When mother tries to enroll Hanna in the public-school system, Hanna's behavior had me laughing and in shock. It had finally happened! Her mother had found other individuals who could back her up. Their reactions to what Hanna did was an added bonus. I thought the ending of this novel was brilliant, it really fit Hanna personality and the novel perfectly.
I’m giving this novel a 4 based on Hanna’s intelligence of a 3 and the storyline and tension within the novel of a 4.5.
I received a copy of this novel from NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press in exchange for an honest review.
