SNAP DECISIONS CAN BE DANGEROUS . . .On a stifling summer's day, eleven-year-old Jack and his two sisters sit in their broken-down car, waiting for their mother to come back and rescue them. Jacks in charge, she'd said. I won't be long.But she doesn't come back. She never comes back. And life as the children know it is changed for ever.Three years later, Jack is still in charge - of his sisters, of supporting them all, of making sure nobody knows they're alone in the house, and - quite suddenly - of finding out the truth about what happened to his mother . .Â
My thoughts: I thought the book was OK, it started to come together about a third of the way through when the pace picked up and the characters became interesting. I felt for Jack and his siblings, and I re ally liked them I was annoyed at the system and their dad for not looking after them and wondered if this would ever happen in today’s society? I did think that were lots of points of humour given such a dark subject which made me enjoy the book more.
