My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece
5 Years ago Jamie’s sister Rose aged 10 was killed by
terrorists. Jamie was too young to remember her and when his mother walks out
it’s just him his dad and Rose’s twin sister Jas. When they move house Jamie
starts a new school he is bullied by everyone except one girl Sunya. Sunya is
Muslim and Jamie can’t decide when to leave the pain of losing a sister behind
and become friends with Sunya or stay remorseful and hate filled for ever which
will he choose……………
I thought the book was brilliant and I really sympathised
with Jamie. He was my favourite character as I just felt really sorry for him.
I thought the characters and the plot were all really well thought out,
especially Jas as she was really supportive of her brother and was always there
to comfort him and make him feel better. I found the book quite emotional and I
found it quite upsetting at times. I would recommend the book to people who
enjoy an interesting yet sad book with lots of tension.
It’s a lovely book and I thought it added a lot of tension
and also sadness when Jamie’s mother walked out. This book has displayed a very
true picture of what sometimes happens and how the families have to deal with
it. Overall I loved it.
