It is a really good book. It is nice to read about the friendship and how close the kids got eventually. Would recommend it to someone looking for a good book.

Carlie knows she's got no say in what happens to her. Stuck in a foster home with two other kids, Harvey and Thomas J, she's just a pinball being bounced from bumper to bumper. As soon as you get settled, somebody puts another coin in the machine and off you go again. But against her will and her beter judgement, Carlie and the boys become friends. And all three of them start to see that they can take control of their own lives.
i think its a good book because they thought they were pinballs because the were getting passed around when they were in a foster home with mrs.mason and mr.mason
