The foster child by Jenny Blackhurst.
When child psychologist Imogen Reid takes on the case of 11-year-old Ellie Atkinson, she refuses to listen to warnings that the girl is dangerous.
Ellie was the only survivor of a fire that killed her family. Imogen is convinced she's just a sad and angry child struggling to cope with her loss.
But Ellie's foster parents and teachers are starting to fear her. When she gets upset, bad things seem to happen. And as Imogen gets closer to Ellie, she may be putting herself in danger...

So to start off I really like how this book gets straight to the
story, from page one you know roughly what is going on and
why! Which I love!

The chapters jump from character to character which to be
honest is a little confusing to start with but you do get used
to it and understand why its done this way when you get a bit
further in and know the characters.

Some parts of the book for me hit hard the bullying the child
went through, I just felt so much for her, going through
bullying myself as a child I could honestly say I felt exactly
how she must have been feeling in the book.

The story really shows how people are so quick to judge
without actually finding out the facts or the truth first, it
really opens your eyes on how this happens on an everyday
basis in life and to be honest were all guilty of judging too
quickly, aren’t we?

As you get nearer to the end of the book there is defiantly
some twists in it, you think you've just found out what is
going on then it all changes, you finally go ah ok I get that
then BAM it changes again and it really does leave you with a
:O ‘Mouth open’ type moment and I have to admit I kinda
loved it!
