One For The Murphys

This book is by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. I choose this book originally looking for a book that would take me the week to read, but ended up finishing it in two hours. I was glued to this book, even though it was sad. This book is about a 12 year old girl named Carley, who is sent to live with the Murphy family as a foster child for a little while. Carley didn't have a great life, but she didn't realize it until she saw a real, happy family. She goes through a lot trying to discover who she is, and that isn't very easy when you are someone in her situation. I love the plot twist at the end, but it was a sad ending for me. I would recommend this book to anyone in our class, or in AS.
