This book is about a girl called Ella.
She lives with her mum and stepdad. At the start her mum is pregnant, after giving birth she goes into a coma and the story is about how Ella copes with the baby, her dad, step dad, mum, friends and enemies. She does a whale project, which helps her to keep going while everything else is confused.
I really liked this book becuase the story was really nice and I felt connected to Ella but they said something that is not true: “can I stop school too ” “no silly its illegal” that is not true at all.
I give this book 9/10
This book was sent to us free by WHSmith as part of a challenge our family is doing to read 100 books in January to try to raise money to build a library with Oxfam Unwrapped. You can read all about the challenge and our progress on Sodalite’s main blog, Making it up.
