On The Move

Synopsis 

When mama left

Semiprecious written by D. Anne Love is an amazing book that you can relate yourself into a feel special once in a while, you can learn how to be tolerant and patient as well. It is mainly about a crazy mom with 2 kids named Garnet and Opal. In mama's birthday, dad gave her a vacuum cleaner instead of the electric guitar she wanted, she was so upset because her dream was to go to Nashville and become a music star and with a vacuum cleaner that wouldn't be possible. The next morning mama made the kids pack her bags because they were going to stay with her aunt Julia while she went to Nashville to make her dream come true. On their way mama bought the guitar and warned dad about what was going on because he worked in a different country. When they arrived to aunt Julia's and mama left them the adventure began.....

Secrets Hidden In The Lines

"She has no idea how much I hate her."

"Daddy says we aren't supposed  to say we hate anybody"(28)

This makes me remember about my dad. He always makes sure that my sister and I never say we hate each other because "hate" is a really strong word. I don't think Opal hates mama I mean she is 15 and big changes sometimes aren't good for teenagers, maybe she would be mad for a while but eventually she will miss mama. Garnet on the other hand doesn't hate mama bit she is really disappointed.

"'Wait for me my precious gems. I've come to take you come.'

If only that had happened, instead of what actually did."(58)

I can see that mama isn't coming any time soon. Why would she leave her children? Does she care about them at all? Because when she was mad about what had happened in her birthday she yelled to dad that she was tires of looking after them, it was "dad's" turn to do it..... I don't think she is a model for kids.

Final Thoughts

This book is AMAZING. I can identify myself in so many ways specially with Garnet. She is a very special girl that likes to express herself in a way that makes you think a little bit better about things. Makes you question is what before seemed struggling, now it may look silly. So far i am 100% hooked to think very amusing book and I think there is no way I will get bored. I honestly hope that mama returns to get her girls but there is only one way to know if that is true...... well keep reading!
