Review of 'Hush' on 'Goodreads'

I would still recommend this to 5-6 grade as they seem to like it, but I thought it was boring. The premise is two young girls are moved away from their town after their father joins the witness protection agency. Their family has enormous difficulty adjusting. I think this book would also be a good rec for any kid who has recently moved.
