Miah's Reading Response letter

Dear Megan & Blog followers

Hi, How are you? Have you had a good week? I sure have! I can’t believe that Term 3 is almost over! Only one more term left! :( That’s crazy! 

Anyway, At the moment my book is at a very interesting point because Simon is starting to have a crush on Rose and he is acting all shy around her. I don’t think that Squint will like this! So the other day Simon and Jem were at Mrs Masons for lunch and so was Rose and Tommy. Simon and Rose went out to the greenhouse to get some veggies. It was dead silent for a while until Rose brought up the fact that her Dad can get quite angry and violent. Awkward! She asked Simon about the day that he fell off his bike, she knew that he didn’t really fall off his bike and she also knew that her Dad was involved somewhere here too. And sure enough she managed to get Simon to spill the truth. So Simon told her all about it, every single part. Simon was surprised around how she took it all. I guess that that situation must be pretty relatable one for her :( After Simon had explained it all. Rose started telling him about her life (mainly about her father though). She told him about the blood stained knees, the bruises on her face, I guess you know how it all happened, Squint. Then she started telling Simon about that, her Mother, Tommy and her hope to move house, to a safer environment sometime soon. But there's something stopping them… Her Mum might be having another child. Rose saw a cot that had been put aside somewhere around the ‘House Yard’ and there are bottles and baby formula in the cupboard under the stairs. Sadly. It looks like they won’t be moving for a while :( I do really hope that they will still be able to move away, because it would be a very bad environment for the child to grow up in (Meaning Squint). And it also wouldn’t be fair on Rose, Tommy and their Mother, being slapped and scratched all the time. I do really hope that the wend will be a good one and their family will be safe :) It has crossed my mind numerous times that this could all be made up and that Squint, Rose and Tommy could be playing a joke on Simon and Jem, but I do really hope that that is not the case.

Have a great weekend!
