Too Scared to Tell

 Nonfiction by Cathy Glass


In this story, six-year-old Oskar comes into foster care because he'd been consistently turning up to school hungry and dirty. When social services investigated, they discovered that his mother had actually been out of the country for two weeks, and a few "uncles" are supposed to be taking care of him. Except, it turns out that none of the uncles are actually related to Oskar. Plus, Oskar is sporting a fresh bruise on his face.

Obviously foster carer Cathy Glass is very concerned about Oskar. And when a pair of mysterious men begin watching her as she brings the boy to and from school, men little Oskar seemed terrified of, she is even more worried. She determines to get to the bottom of all this in order to ensure the child's safety. 

This was an interesting story with some unexpected twists.
