- Q.1 What is the
time and place of
the book, what
evidence tells you
this?
- The time of the book is
qround the modern time,
or when the author wrote
it. It is after the war as
the town has a war
memorial and Ellie's
grandfather fought in it.
- The place is
Australia, as the
book mentions that
they moved from
Melbourne which
also hints that they
may be in Victoria.
The bushland an the
Aborigional boy also
suggests this. They
are in Boort.

- Q.2 Name and describe
the main character in the
book. Describe him/her
physically and describe
him/her personality and
history, if known. Then
give your impression of
him/ her.
- The Main Character of this book is Sadie. She thinks that she
should be able to have a say in family decisions, and does not
think very highly of her mum; Ellie. Sadie is a girl and wants
to be more respected. I think that she is OK but as of yet, I
can't really tell what my full impression of her is.

- Q.3 .Name and describe a minor
character. Describe her/him physically and
describe her/his personality and history, if
known. Explain how s/he is important to
the story and the ideas of the book.
- For this I have chosen Ellie. Ellie is Sadie's mother and
has a (as of yet) mysteriously tainted past with many
boyfriends. She visited Boort when she was young. The
lake was full and the place was lively and more
beautiful, she thought that she would move here now
with Sadie. She is often quite cheery but is always late.
She divorced her previous husband and now is trying to
find a new one.

She divorced her previous husband and now is trying to
find a new one.
- Q.4. Describe the nature of the
relationship between two characters.
Include their history together and
details of their relationship. Explain
the significance of their relationship
to the book.
- Sadie and Ellie are mother and daughter. Ellie tries to do her best
to make Sadie feel like this new home is her real home but Sadie
refuses. Sadie thinks that current events have disappointed her
and are very unfair. Sadie has found it hard to make friends and
gets more unhappy at her mother as the book goes on.

- Q.5. Describe one important event in the book
and explain why it is significant to the story (to
the plot, the characters, the ideas of the book).
- One significant event that happened so far would
be when Sadie found and talked to the crow. The
crow said that he had work for Sadie and that his
place comes from crows, which probably means that
Sadie will have to do something to save the place for
the crows. This first encounter engages the reader
and sets the plot without letting you discovering the
problem.

- Q.6. What are your
feelings and thoughts
about the novel based
on one or more
specific things you
have read?
- So far the novel has not been very engaging which is
leaving me not looking forward to the after of the book,
although alot of that nagativity was generated by what
other people have commented about the book. It is a
bit thicker than Coraline which suggests that it has a
more lengthy plot so it may turn out to be good.

- Q.7. Find one specific idea, event, or
behavior in the book that relates to
real life. Explain the relationship you
see.
- There are many
relationships in the
book to real life, one
would be the slow
decline of popularity
and support in small
towns. I once went to
one like this, Garfield.
