Synopsis
A package arrives and guess from who? DADDY! A play is arriving and Opal is the main character, obviously Garnet is helping with the scenario. A while passed and clumsy Garnet bumped into Nathan Brown but he actually invited her to a baseball game of his. On the way home from school Charlie was talking about how he might die soon, and it actually happened. He died the next day and Garnet was extremely sad. Days later, the play arrived and this time there were not any disruptions. So, they day of this "prestigious" game arrived and Nathan lost and he was mad at Garnet again. When she arrived aunt Julia said that Daddy called and that he will come to pick them up...Some Secrets In The Lines
"Dreams are funny things. You carry them around for so long they become as much a part of your breath itself."(277)
I relate myself so much in this quote because it have happened to me that dreams haunt you. Specially memories. I like the way in which the author uses similes to express how Garnet felt, It made me perceive and visualize in the situation Garnet was in and how difficult that may have been for her. How much she struggled this year but at last all was back to reality again thanks to Daddy.
"Living with Aunt Julia had taught me that the people who stay are just as important as the ones who go, and that the best home of all is the one you make inside yourself."(287)
This makes me go back and think about some parts not only from the book, but also from my life that i've created my own home. There are always those friends that come and go but only the really special ones stay with you forever. In the book this is refered with family. Everywhere you go, you will always found a special person in this case Aunt Julia that helps you overcome difficult situations.
Final Thoughts
I can't belive i've reached the end of this incredible, AMAZING book full of values and lessons. I never imagines that this book will end up as my favourite one so far. I was so relieved that Daddy at last came to Willow Flats to pick up his "special" gems. I had so much fun not reading this but actually experiencing this engaging story that made me laugh, cry, and made me go crazy atsome point. I extremely recommend this book to anyone because it is and incredible and unpredictable book. The way the author enhances the personality of the characters to perhaps a real case make the book have a further meaning.
