It is part of The Doggos Series. And at the end of this post there is a giveaway for the whole series!!

The House No One Sees -- Young Adult Novel Review

 

Disclosure: I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

We hear in the news that there is a huge problem in our country with opioids. Perhaps you know someone who has been or is addicted to them. Perhaps you are like me and do not. But what is life like for the family members of the addicted? Today I am sharing a heart wrenching young adult novel about a girl who has to deal with her mother's addiction and find a way out of the mess her childhood house gives her. The book is The House No One Sees by Adina King. It is recommended for ages 14-18. I believe this is a very accurate recommendation. I would not have wanted Hazel to read this book before she was 14 due to the heavy nature of it.
