Stop Pretending: What Happened When My Big Sister Went Crazy

Stop Pretending: What Happened When My Big Sister Went Crazy is by Sonya Sones. A touching story of a family's struggle with mental illness. Sones' debut fiction in verse novel is based on the personal experience of her family when her sister had a breakdown on Christmas and had to be admitted to a mental institution for treatment. Written in Sones' classic free verse, this story is poignant and tender. A wonderful read.

Ratings: 8th grade - 10 out of 10 - MP (mild profanity) - AC (mature thematic content).
