Author: Andrew McCarthy Book Color: Blue
Book Genre: Realistic Fiction Summary: When Lucy Willows finds out that her father has a child from a different family, an eight year old boy named Thomas, Lucy's life changes completely (at least, from her perspective). She doesn't understand how her father could have kept a secret like that for most of his life from her. She also can't believe her mother could possibly have forgiven him for that action, or how her sister Julie doesn't seem hardly upset at all. Lucy then finds her way to Maine, where she hangs out with her grandfather. It's there that she learns more about her father than he would ever say, including the answers to all the secrets and truths that have laid beneath the surface the whole time. It's there that she learns that in order to fix a problem herself, she needs to face it head-on. Personal Review: This was a really good book. there were only a few small reasons why I rated it blue and not purple. 1) It had a little bit of abusive language that may not be appropriate for young readers. There weren't a lot of them, just a few, but I would still take caution. 2) It had a few sad parts (one part almost made me cry, which doesn't normally happen). And 3) This book also contained parts where the characters smoked pot or cigarettes. It would not not be a smart decision to give this book to a budding reader, unless he/she can handle it appropriately. But other than that, this was defiantly a book I would probably read again and again. A special thank you goes to a fellow book-lover who gave me this book to read. Thank you for thinking of me! Recommendation: I would recommend this book for people who can handle the parts mentioned in the list above, who like realistic fiction, and who would like to read a book written by the Andrew McCarthy (if you don't know who he is, I suggest you look him up.)
