A BIRD IN THE HOUSE

I enjoyed reading this book because i felt i could relate to Vanessa. As a child, i can remember numerous occasions when i was asked to leave the room so the adults could discuss something. although i would listen to them while sitting on the step discuss or argue at each other about something that to me could be discussed in front of me. I felt that Vanessa in some ways was describing my childhood by dealing with things such as death, that most children are oblivious too. I really enjoyed this book and felt the writing style of it made it easier to read and follow and completely get involved into.
