Could you imagine if you were just thrown into foster care, then thrown into a random person's home? That's what happened to Carly. This book is called One for The Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. This story takes place in the Murphy's house. Carly is the protagonist in this book, her mom's boyfriend Dennis beat Carly right before she was put into foster care. Carly's mom went to a mental hospital and Dennis was put into jail. Carly was put into the Murphy's house and had to start fresh. She made this friend at her new school and her name is Tony, she didn’t tell Tony that she was in a foster home and they got into a big fight when tony found out. Carly doesn’t like her foster brother, but she does like the other two. I liked this book because it has a lot of ups and downs. I liked how Carly started liking the Murphys but when she first moved in with them she didn’t like them at all. I recommend this book to someone who is into kind of sad books but turns into happy books! There are some parts in this book that younger kids probably should not be reading.
