Title: Just A Boy
Original title: Just A Boy
Author: Richard McCann
Number of pages: 287
I just finished reading this true story!
The book is about a boy and his three sisters who's mother doesn't return home one night so this boy and his older sister - Sonia go out looking for her. Their mother became the first victim of the Yorkshire Ripper.
Is a sad book, but everyone can read it and I am sure it will touch each heart.
Just a boy is an extraordinaty and affecting book about love, tragedy and determination.
From book:
"Violence and poverty were the norm; women got beaten and men drank too much."
&&&
"I woke up this morning and my mother was gone. Then came the chorus, over and over again: "Where's your mama gone? Where's your mama gone? Far, far away..."
&&&
"I'd never really read books before and I was surprised how quickly I got into it, escaping from the thoughts and worries that were buzzing around my head."
&&&
"Kissing her was making me feel alive , the best feeling I'd had for weeks."
&&&
