To begin with I had to tell you I`m so in love with this book!! I started reading this book today at school (which I got from my great teacher), and it caught my interest right away. Seriously, I didn`t want stop.

However, so far in the book I`ve got to know Baby a little bit more. She lost her 15-year-old mom when she was 1-year-old and have to live with her father, Jules, who takes better care of his heroin habit that he does of his daughter. It also seems like she is taking care of him, and she is smarter than him.

They have also moved to another place, which is something they always do. This apartment have been used by many other people. The carpet had been worn down so much that you couldn`t see what pattern it used to have, and the light switch was practically black from so many hand turning it on and off.

However, while you`ve been reading this, I`ve probably starting reading the book again.

I`m trying not to read more than one chapter at time..You will hear lather how that went.

Lullabies for Little Criminals, Heather O`Neill

12-year-old baby is used to turmoil in her life. Her mother is long dead, her father is a junkie and they shuttle between rotting apartments and decrepit downtown hotels.

At thirteen, Baby vacillates between childhood comforts and adult temptation: still young enough to drag her dolls around in a vinyl suitcase yet old enough to know more than she should about urban cruelties.

Motherless, she lives with her father, Jules, who takes better care of his heroin habit than he does of his daughter. As her father`s addiction and paranoia grow worse, she begins a journey that will lead her in and out of several foster homes, a detention centre and eventually onto the streets as a prostitute.

Throughout the chaos and hardship of her life, Baby`s remarkable strength of spirit enables her to survive.

Baby's gift is a genius for spinning stories and for cherishing the small crumbs of happiness that fall into her lap. But her blossoming beauty has captured the attention of a charismatic and dangerous local pimp who runs an army of sad, slavishly devoted girls—a volatile situation even the normally oblivious Jules cannot ignore. And when an escape disguised as betrayal threatens to crush Baby's spirit, she will ultimately realize that the power of salvation rests in her hands alone.
