One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies

[Brigitte]

Would you go with someone who is claiming to be your father even though you have never met him? Well, in the realistic fiction novel, One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies, by Sonya Sones, Rubby is sent to live with her father who is a movie star that lives in Hollywood after her mother dies and she's never even met him. "Fast, Funny, Touching." -Booklist. I would recommend this book to girls ages 12 and up. Sonya Sones has also written Stop Pretending and What My Mother Doesn't Know. I honestly liked this novel the most because of how it talks about Ruby's experience getting used to her father and meeting many celebrities. "And I could swear I just saw Johnny Depp behind the wheel of that silver Porsche."
