Honestly I have no idea why the author, Angela Johnson, chose to use this technique (flashback). The only idea I have is that she wanted to make her book different. It's catchy because you're hearing things about what's happening in the present, but wondering what happened back then. Then you read the next chapter and it answers some unanswered questions. I really don't know if it would have been better to just tell the story from beginning to end. This way you want to keep reading to hear EVERYTHING.
