I found this book on book share. Young girl is violated by the father of the children she is babysitting.
This is a good book, if you don’t want to read a bunch of graphic language.

There is this girl who is twelve and is molested by her neighbor. When they moved in she was happy to go over to tyheir home and spend time with the family but when the molestation starts she feels trapped and can't do anything about it. She doesn't want to tell because she is afraid of what would happen. Reynolds writes about how she goes through this and her sufferings. When the girl finally decides to speak she has to build up courage and Reynolds writes about it and it is very sad to read.
