The particular outcome for Nicole made the book lightening, along with the opportunities that were granted to her and what she did with them.

This book would be good for children around fifth grade, because it is not graphic however there is a lot of meaning that comes from the book. Along with that it shows the perspective of a child who was not captured, but needed to grow up if she were to survive.
