BR 2-17: Sam's new flat

“When you get used to the idea, you’ll start to feel better” p,28

  I want to introduce a thoughtful book this time. This is the best book that I have read ever. Main character is a girl, Sam. Her mum and dad didn’t want to live together anymore, but they both wanted to be with Sam. After all, Sam and her mum moved to a new flat. When she had told them how unhappy she was about them arguing all the time, that didn’t mean she wanted them to split up. She felt it was all her fault. She thought she had not said anything. Then Sam went to the park and was sitting on the roundabout. When a boy, Donut came to there and asked her “Is something wrong?” He looked her really fed up. Happened many things, she told him the truth. Then he said “Everyone else’s parents live together, but not quite everyone’s” He laughed. The truth, his dad is not real dad. Finally, he said the lines “When you get used to the idea, you’ll start to feel better” I was moved and thought many things. The story goes but I wanted to tell everyone this lines. It was great book. You should try it.
