When You Know What I Know by Sonja K. Solter

4.0

4/5 Stars: ‘When You Know What I Know’ is a Middle Grade, Poetic Contemporary by Sonja Solter; ‘When You Know What I Know’ offers hope after trauma, in an unromanticised way. This gentle take on a sensitive subject is comforting for a child coping with the effects of sexual abuse, as a result of this, there are no graphic details surrounding the abuse. The poetry conveys the sense of participating intimately in the psychological and social impacts of trauma, in verse, and the aftermath of abuse. It is brutally honest and does not beat around the bush; giving a voice to children.
