With the descriptions...

My Review for Seen and Not Heard by Deborah Jean White

Still a teenager and fresh out of school, Molly falls into a job as a Classroom Assistant and settles in well until the children slowly become absent from her class.The second point of view is ‘house’. It takes a bit of getting used to,...
