I liked this story which was about Pearl and Matilda who became friends and did lots of fun things together. It also taught me a lot about different kinds of families, and that not all families look the same but that’s ok.

It is a fiction book, it interested me because i wondered what the story might be about and it looked strange because there is two long legs standing next to the girl. I would recommend this book to readers that like a strict house with strict rules.
