(2) YA Passed from one relative to another, Matt suppresses her feelings. When she meets her latest caretakers, a Quaker couple with a severely disabled foster son, she barely speaks. At school both a bully and a war-mongering civics teacher target her. By book's end, Matt has completed her transformation from silent victim to empowered hero, in a moving and satisfying conclusion.
