What One for the Murphys is about in a glimpse
Things That I Know:
- Carley has been placed in the foster care of the Murphys
- Their family consists of Mrs.Murphy (the mom), Mr.Murphy (the dad), Daniel (the oldest of the three brothers that Carley doesn't get along to well with), Adam (the middle brother, who Carley likes and the feelings are mutual), and Michael Eric (the youngest in the family, who likes to play superheroes with Adam and Carley), and last but not least we have the main character of the book, Carley
- Carley is 12 years old, just like me
- At the beginning of the book, Carley was really resentful of the Murphys, but now I can really see that she is maturing and letting her guard down the more and more we read on
- When Carley has the flashback in Chapter 7, we get a taste of how she felt the night everything went "wrong" (the night she got put into foster care) That chapter is the basis of the book. Without "that night" Carley would've never gotten placed into foster care, she would've never met the Murphy and she never would have learned what it feels like to have a family that loves you, and cares about you (Oh, and also this book never would have been made. Whew, I almost forgot that fact!)
- Carley's room, which used to be Adam's room, is decorated with firetrucks. Above her bed, their is a sign saying BE SOMEONES HERO
Part 2
Things That I Wonder:
- How did Michael Eric get a seizure at such a young age? (four years old)
- What is Carley's real mom's name?
- Why does Mrs. Murphy care so much about Carley - my guess is she maybe has a brother or sister that will be introduced in the book later on that was in foster care, or maybe a close friend?
- How did Rainer get that job at the restaurant if he is as old as Carley?
- Where did Carley get Mr. Longneck?
- Do any of the Murphys want any kind of pets? If so, will there be one in the following chapters?
- Why did Daniel not do well at his basketball tryouts, because when Carley went to play with the basketball hoop they have outside in the earlier chapters, Daniel said he was an amazing basketball player
