Caroline may just have been suffering from the trauma of uprooting to a place and a lifestyle that was completely foreign to her, with her husband away and a passive aggressive teenage girl to try and care for- that'd make anyone feel a bit blue. Also Poppy loved her half brother dearly.<br />I do agree it is great to see these themes in children's books and it is a really great read, and would recommend it to anyone- child or adult.Callynoreply@blogger.com
