I just finished this book and i think its a GREAT read!!! I am also a native from Guam (born and raised!) and Kimberly H. just captures the life of it. Not only does she tell true stories/myths from Guam but she shows the everyday life of ppl there--how they talk, eat, act, the places, the tourists.. I was so amazed by this book! i dont know--if you are from Guam, read this book and you'll understand what im talking about!

What Parents Need to Know
About Keeper of the Night
Parents need to know that despite the subject matter, this is not a wrenching book -- poignant, but not devastating. The idea of parent suicide will be disturbing to some children, and discussion with a parent is recommended.
