LITTLE PRISONERS: A TRAGIC STORY OF SIBLINGS TRAPPED IN A WORLD OF ABUSE AND SUFFERING -- CASEY WATSON

Both enlightening and heart-wrenching, "Little Prisoners" tells the story of two children who have been living in a sickening environment, but are pulled back into safety by Casey Watson, the best-selling author of &lt>i;Too Hurt to Stay, The Boy No One Loved, and &lt>i;Crying For Help. Like Watson, readers will be astonished that such severe sexual abuse can take place for decades without anyone stepping in to help. We can immediately connect with her need to protect and nurture these children. The story reminds us of what some children endure in unhealthy homes, as well as making them think about what can be done to bring perpetrators to justice.

Summary of Little Prisoners by Casey Watson is by Save Time Summaries. This is a summary of the book and not the full version book itself. This goes through each chapter in the book and summarizes the chapter and then notes the "Key Take-Away" point in that chapter. I really like the way this is structured and the summary of the chapter is enough to know what went on without the page after page of reading the full version of the book. The "Key Take-Away" is usually a sentence or two that condenses the summary down to a main point. For example; Chapter Five is three paragraphs long and about what Casey hears and observes from the two children that makes her think they were sexually abused. The "Key Take-Away" is one sentence long that states Casey believes the children have been sexually abused based on their comments and actions.

The Summary of...(insert any of their book titles here) by Save Time Summaries are great especially if it is a long novel that you were assigned to do a report on or have a test in. The summary would make studying a lot easier since it is the main points of the chapter and the key points. This also would be especially useful when you have a lot of dates or places to remember such as something in history like a war however on the book of "Little Prisoners" I think it isn't necessarily a good thing because it is like reading a review of a book that tells you what went on including the ending but the drama, the connection with the characters, the heartache and shock of it all is lost. In the book "Little Prisoners" all of that is part of the story, it is what gets the reader involved emotionally. Because it is non-existent in the summary I do not think it works for a book like this. I feel cheated because so much of the emotional part is lost.

So in short, I think the summary is great if you want to know what the book is all about and what happens without all the connections and emotions. The structure and content is good however if you are thinking this is a great way to read the book "Little Prisoners" in a short amount of time I am afraid you will be disappointed. So depending on what you are looking for, this may or may not be the way to go.

Praise for those who step in and help heal the children and shame on those who would hinder the process, either by laziness, negligence, or apathy. We see both in this book by Casey Watson who works as a specialist in the foster care program in England. Time after time social workers have failed these children and even the administration of one school pretends there is nothing amiss. Casey and Mike her husband take in the children who need extra care because they come from a home in which abuse is so rampant, so appalling, they cannot go into immediately into regular foster care.. In Little Prisoners. they take in two dirty, frightened siblings, a six year old girl and a nine year old boy who have from birth lived in a house of unbelievable filth, sexual abuse, and mental and emotional poverty. It is the Watson’s job to change behavior the children don’t even know is wrong and get them to begin to learn to trust, to love, and become more emotionally stable, so they can be placed in regular foster care, or, as in this case, where the kids were so damaged, a next-step care home, so they can eventually have a good chance of surviving in regular placement.
