One for the Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt

3.0

I buy most of my books off ThriftBooks and while they are a DEAL, sometimes I don't know exactly what I'm getting because they send a different version of the book then what's shown in the listing. A lot of the time I pick a book out based on the cover - original I know - and this one was one of those. I only realized after I got it - and it was a different version, sporting different cover art - that it was for literal children. Not YA. Like 9 year olds. But I was committed. And I gotta tell you. It didn't feel like a kids book. It was funny, sad, moving. And really made me want to look more into foster care.
