Bruises is a story about a young girl, Judith, who lives with her brother and mother; and a young boy, Michael, who has dyslexia and lives with his aunt, uncle and little cousins. Each child have their own set of secrets. Judith's secret, which is the main problem of the story, is how she gets brutally abused by her mother. Throughout the story Judith finds ways to keep people from suspecting her secret while increasing her friendship with Michael by them finding out more and more about each other.
Bruises is a decent book, but really is only for certain people. Anke does a good job making the reader want to know more a more of what's going to happen. The author gives information vital to the story very slowly. Many people don't have the patience to get evey detail as slow as the author reveils it, The only other critique is the lack of diction. Through the reading I find a lack of words with help provide a sense of imagery. This most likely had to do with how easy the author makes the reading. In general, bruises is a simple easy to read story that may on.y be for people who are patient in getting to the climax of the story.
