kellyhager 's review for:
One for the Murphys
by Lynda Mullaly Hunt
Oh, you guys, I love this book. I'm going to try and do it justice, but since I'm pretty sure I'm just going to sound like a crazy person, just go read it.
It reminded me a lot of The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Paterson. Both books deal with girls who want to be with their moms but who are instead put in foster homes. And both are really, really tough girls who don't take shit from anyone.
And both will break your heart.
I'll admit it---I was a mess for the end of this book, especially the last chapter. It's really good but also really hard. So be prepared. But so, so worth it.
Highly recommended.
