I thought I knew what a “page-turner” was, but I couldn't read this one fast enough. The pacing is absolutely frantic, even though it's filled with inner dialog and takes place over the course of only a few weeks. It's disturbing in various ways, and Abbott nails so much of what childhood is like–which is one reason why it's so disturbing.
