This book is about eleven year old Martha, having to cope with family difficulties and looking after her family. She makes lists inside her head and the lists keep getting longer and more difficult.
At the beginning of this book I thought it was a sweet story about a girl trying to look after her brother, Tug and her Dad, but it turned out completely different. From reading the blurb you couldn’t tell what the story was about.
My favourite character was Martha’s friend, Marcus. This is because he was funny, enthusiastic, but serious at the same time. He always either cheered up or gave good ideas and he was unpredictable.
I found this book very easy to read (I read it in one day) and I think it is written in a way for younger children, but what the story is about is for older children. I liked the book, but I wouldn’t pick it off a bookshelf and read it.
In conclusion, I liked this book, but it wasn’t amazing. I would recommend it possibly to slightly younger children though.
