I think the author wrote this book because it relates to real life about young kids life how they can have all different promblems in there life and cant tell your friends anything because you dont want rumors about you. I really like this book because some of my friends have different promblems like this and it realtes to there life too some of my friends tell me what going on so they are not alone they have someone next to the threw everything. i like when my friends tell me that stuff so i can take them out and make them happy and smile and laugh a little bit. This book i like it because i like rading about my promblems all though thats probably really bad but they make realzie how terible people have there lives and i am so blessed with my life. I wish i could talk to the author and realized why she really wrote this book.

Sammy's dad came home drunk again and she was used to it. Sammy gets so annoyed with the fact that he pretty much comes home every night wasted.  Sammy goes downstairs to get some food at 2am and her dad comes out and says "what are you doing?" "I am getting food I am starving" Her dad is still wasted and not sober yet. Sammy goes to school the next day and sees this girl in the library and really wants to talk to her because she looks so sweet and nice and she thinks this girl can help her problems at home a few minutes later she starts to write a letter how what is happening at home and starts writing about everything that’s wrong with her. The paper that she wrote to this girl was about 2 pages long. Sammy's in 8th grade and she writes to a 10th grader and Sammy prays that she writes her back and helps her with her problems and becomes like her older sister because that’s what Sammy really wants. I predict what’s going to happen next is going to be that i hope the girl writes her back and helps her out because she’s going through a really hard time right now just by reading this book because if this girl was in my life I would take her out to places and get her mind off of it and make her feel way better. I thought this was a good quote because this is happening right now to Sammy and she is stuck in a position because she doesn’t tell anyone or any of her friends that her dad is a alcoholic. “When something awful happens, sometimes people get stuck.”
