This book always keeps me in suspense for the ending. This book only one BIG problem: A girl has to run a Bed and Breakfast at the same time as she has to deal with her own, personal problems at school. But there's a catch; nobody can find out what she's up to, or her aunt will be imprisoned for abandoning her when Sadie's mother is in the hospital, and Sadie will be taken into care. I am always held on to the book, because I am always wondering if she will be discovered...

This book was a really good book. Although, it did seem to me as if it wasn't very realistic. It was about a girl who's mom becomes ill and has to stay in the hospital. Then when her aunt promises to take care of the Bed & Breakfast that the family owns and suddenly she just leaves. That leaves this poor teenager running a B&B all by herself. Can she do it? Or does she have to tell her mother that her aunt has left her and risk getting taken into child care? Read the book to find out!!!!

I absolutely loved this book! The plot was amazing as was the characters and the way that the conflict was solved. The character of Sadie was ingenious. I wished there was a sequel to this. Probably one of the reasons that I loved this book was because it was a British book (I have a thing for those for some reason).

Sadie's mum owns a B&B in England and when she get's hospitalized, Sadie's aunt bails and Sadie runs the B&B on her own for a while. I liked Sadie's spunkiness and the message that you can be good at different (non-academic) things.

Another great story for the young/pre teen girl. After playing the dumb blonde role, through a series of strange circumstances, Sadie gets to find out just how capable she is.
