Charlie is a good boy who struggles to remain so after the bad things that have happened to him. He hasnt had the easiest life, and sadly, his mom is at the head of his torment. The one woman who is supposed to love him more than anything in the world. This was a very hard book to read, in spite of the masterful writing but because as a mother its hard for me to read such things, yet Charlie persevered even after all the heartbreak, loss and disappointment he endures throughout the novel.ItsDyed Souls by Gary Santorella is a classic in philosophical literature. A very touching 5 star, must-read storyPoor Charles! My motherly instincts wanted to wrap my arms around him and take care of him forever and that is great writing! From the first page until the last Santorella invites us deep into the psyche of a troubled teenage boy. I wondered all the way through this book if it was the authors own story because it reads much like an autobiographical novel, especially the last chapter. On
Dyed Souls by Gary Santorella was not an easy book to read, because it takes us into a dark but real world most of us know very little about. 13-year-old Charlie has been taken from his drug-addicted mother and is now doing time at Hawthorne Residential Treatment Village, a reform school where they administer high-dosage injections of thorazine to keep the teens under control.

He's sent back early after having a weekend pass, by his mother, who quite frankly it's very easy to dislike, intensely.It's told in first person narrative, through the eyes of Charlie, and we sit next to him and watch his struggles finding his way through this system, which demands he bows to certain behavioural codes. My heart aches for Charlie - he's a
This was a tough one. Good story but difficult to read about the hardships kids go through simply because of the poor choices made by their parents. Not only Charlie, whose drug addicted mother ripped him from the stability of his grandparents' home, but also the also kids at the residential facility where he now finds himself. His struggles are many, both physically and emotionally. Hard to get through but worth it.
Challenging.......
Dyed Souls is a coming of age story where the young hero is unfortunately too special for his own good. Charlie Lyle is an anomaly among his peers hes incredibly intelligent. Too intelligent. Hes out of place, different and weird. The rest of the kids at Hawthorne Residential Treatment Village are focused on sexual attraction, the inconsequential and the vulgar - normal teen stuff but Charlie is focused on something more important, at least for him (he still cant help but gawk at the girls,
