Wishing Day
by Lauren Myracle
I really enjoyed this book by Lauren Myrical. I felt so sorry for Natasha about what she's have to gone through during the past eight years of her life. I can't imagine my mum ever leaving, my dad being super depressed & not talking or being around & living with my aunties (not that I dot like my aunties, it's just their not my real parents), especially becoming further away from my sister. Natasha did really well to keep going.
I found I related to Natasha a lot throughout the book. Like with her not being very confident around other people, her sisters being social butterfly's & her best friend also being quite sociable & loud. Also how she didn't want to share some things with her friend because she was scared of what Molly would say or do.
I'm glad she found out that Stanly was her secret admirer, she deserved better than Benton. I felt quite sorry for her when the awkward moment happened and she embarrassed herself in front of Stanly, then quickly running away to think things over. But in the end she made things better for her & Stanly.
At the end when she received he letters from her mother was like magic. I mean even if her wish didn't come true, and her mum didn't come back to her but she got the noted saying that she was still alive. It doesn't say in the book but personally I like to think that The Bird Lady is her mum, just because she was giving her the letters, and to me it just seemed right. And the fact that Natasha secretly knew her mum was still alive was just her mums and herself's little secret, and Natasha's sisters, father & aunties probably won't know.
Overall I give this book a 4.75 I would defiantly recommend this book for between 8-12 year olds.
