Vi følger pigen Bjørks tankemylder om livet og dagligdagen. Hun bekymrer sig om at slå til, om at være dygtig nok, om ikke at veje for meget. Det er svært at dele med andre, men en kærlig og forstående mor får endelig åbnet Bjørk, så alt kommer ud.

En meget fin tekst om, hvor svært det kan være, når man er en ung pige i 9. klasse, som vil være god til det hele og kæmper med et lavt selvværd. Selv om lixen er meget lav, tales der i øjenhøjde til læseren, som desværre nok vil kunne identificere sig med problematikkerne

He knows taking care of their responsibilities is preventing them from taking care of each other, but he doesn’t see anything he can do about it. To make matters worse, they’re accused of behaving improperly toward some of the children in their riding programs.

Then Eli becomes ill and the investigators suspect foul play, forcing Geoff to reevaluate his priorities and hope fate will give them another chance
