Martha Is an 11 year old girl with a lot of responsibility, including looking after her 5 year old brother,tug, and her newly alcoholic father. However her life suddenly spirals put of control when her drunken father takes it a step to far.Martha is a brave girl who can see the good in everything and everyone. Yet her younger brother tug is the opposite, a micheavous stroppy child who usually gets what he wants!
The modern and realistic storyline makes it easy relate to and understand and increases your knowledge and understanding on the subject. The author makes what could be a depressing or boring topic into a exciting interesting one. Making me laugh at times, the personality and quotes of tug and Marcus were very funny. Mason manages to make the deep connection in this family clear even throughout upsetting situations.
The storyline was slightly predictable at times, dragging down the plot. I didn't really like The begging of the story as it was less exciting and unrelated to the main story.
I liked this book as it was a touching and bittersweet book and would recommend it!
