...the use of extracts from Amy's diary. It didn't appear at the end of every chapter, just every few but it was an interesting insight into the mind of the youngest girl on the trip, and at times was quite hard to read. Amy is very obese and has self-esteem issues which come across strongly in the diary entries. They're the voice of Amy speaking to us, and it's the only time we really hear from the heart of any of the people in the book. Despite this, I felt as though I knew each of them well and by the end, I was sad to finish and let go of the book.
