This is a fun book I read. Charlotte’s (she’d rather be called Charlie, so that’s what I’ll say) world is being turned upside. Her new teacher is beyond bad,( she calls Charlie Charlotte-GROSS!), she’s forced to sit by the obnoxious teacher’s pet, Jamie, her single mother, who she calls Joe, can’t keep up with their apartment bills, and they’re assinged a victorian times project. Let me slow down. Jo, Charlie’s mom is left without a job, so she starts working for a family, Mark, and his son Robin. She takes care of Robin and brings him to their apartment when his dad, Mark, is busy. Weird though… whenever Jo goes to pick-up Robin Jo dresses up, you know, perfume, heels, skirt, her special sweater. Charlie thinks she kind of likes Mark…ooooh!
At school, Charlie decides to make a diary for her victorian times project. Part of this book is the diary. In the diary there is a girl named Lottie, she work as a maid to make money, for a very strict master I must say!
Later on, Mark invites Jo and Charlie to go with Robin and him to the amusement park. Charlie reluctantly goes with Jo (and Jo is of course very happy). They have a nice time. However Jo and Mark go on some lovey-dovey ride while Jo and Robin just watch. But what was that? Did Jo and Mark just kiss? Charlie wanted to puek. But she started to tell Robin that his father doesn’t love him, and he will get rid of him. This is not true, of course. But Robin is young and shy, and this startled him. Later on in the night, when Mark was going to say goodnight to Robin. He was gone. He ran away. Charlie felt terribly guitly for telling him those bad things, causing him to run away. Everyone was looking for him, including the cops.
What happens to Robin, will he be found? Will Mark and Jo marry? Read this book to find out!
