Mummy Told Me Not to Tell 
Another really good book from Cathy. I really couldn't say which one is my favourite! During this book I; smiled, laughed, cried, had shivers down my spine and said words out loud such as "awwe". I personally would've called this book 'Sharky' .
The ending of this story left me elated and satisfied, but the journey I had to undergo with Reece, Cathy, her family, and other key role players to get to this wonderful finale was harrowing and painful. I thought I had heard and read enough to understand the extent abusive parents will go to to damage their own flesh and blood, but this book made me realize that I had no clue. I could almost not fathom a mother such as Tracey and for a while there thought the author was exaggerating about how

I love that this book is from the viewpoint of a carer who shares her experiences. It brings to light the problems Foster parents face and you can't help but admire her.
I've never read this kind of book before and honestly, this is my first. So the story is about a boy who has a disturbing behavior and a broken family. So the writer became his foster parent with the help of her two kids. At first I did not like the boy because of his behavior but in the end, he started to open up himself and proved to us all that even a troubled kid can actually be fixed. The progress of him getting there was inspiring because of how the writer had helped him. As you read
I struggled to stay interested with this one. I found that the way the book was written, not the story itself, was flat and lacking in emotion.I also didn't particularly like Reese and I'm not sure why. Usually, no matter if the child is likable or not, I feel a certain sympathy and compassion. But not this time.Not one of her better books.
2020 - still amazes me that the mother was allowed to keep her children time after time before they finally got taken away from her. Also amazes me how we have to pander to each of the complaints the mum made.2011 - Another book which you wish wasn't based on real life. How can anyone treat a child that way? I am so impressed at how the carer managed to bring the best out of the child

Heartbreaking and touching, Cathy Glass tells the story of Reece, a troubled 7 year old, broght into her care after going through 4 carers in 6 weeks. The things Reece has been subjected to at home are heartbreaking, and no child should have to deal with the things Reece has had to deal with.
