I honestly don't like the book because it is written like scripts. My faverouite bit is when April meets the pizza man and my least faverouite part is the start of the book. The pizza man Because he has the least part No

I personally LOVED it was about 10 year old April as her journey from being dumped in a dustbin to being reunited with Frankie. What I really liked is how Tanya from bad girls is encorperated it this story.

I like this book because it is about a girl who was put in a dustbin when she was a baby. On her 14th birthday, she bunks off of school and goes to visit all of the people from her past. My favourite character in this book is April, the dustbin baby.

This book was really interesting and made me think again about orphans and being fostered. My favourite character was April Showers because she is similar to me in a way, apart from the fact she got dumped in a dustbin. What interested me the most was when on April’s birthday, she went to find her old foster parents and friends that she had made when she was only little. I would 100% recommend this book to other people.

There are some highs and lows that make the story more interesting. It is about her life story and it is basically her diary.
