Hi guys,
And today I’m
going to be doing a book review on the book ‘Street child.’ So, put on your
listening ears, find a cosy place to relax and enjoy!
Street child by: berlie Doherty
About the story:
A boy named Jim Jarvis lives with his two
sisters Emily and Lily Jarvis and his mother Annie, but to be called Miss.
Jarvis. Miss. Jarvis’ husband died, so now Miss. Jarvis works so hard to only
get very little amounts of money. Soon she falls sick. Jim; the main character,
took her very last shilling and used it to buy some meat and gravy pie; which
he and his sisters ate, leaving the girls not knowing that Jim had spent their
very last shilling.
So, in the morning a man named Mr. Spink (known
as the stick man) asked for rent. But unfortunately, they didn’t have a single
dime, so they were turned out, and another family took their apartment.
But lucky enough for Miss. Jarvis she had a
wealthy friend called Rosie. Rosie was a famous cook. Miss. Jarvis and Rosie
were as close as ham loves salt.
Miss. Jarvis asks Rosie to take Emily and
Lily as if they were orphans, then Miss. Jarvis and Jim were walking together
on the street when Jim’s mum fell on the street and refused to get up.
People and more people started to gather
round him and his mother, asking him all kinds of questions. Soon police came
and took Jim and his mother away to the warehouse
(where
all the orphans stay, Mr and Mrs Sissons owned the place). They checked Jim’s
mother in the medical room and after a couple of days he heard his mother was
DEAD!
So, hey guys how did you
like it? I won’t be giving you a full review because I want you to buy it and
read it for yourself. You can get it on Amazon and Ebay. Thank
