The Friday 56: The Secret of Joy


Closest book: The Secret of Joy Authoress: Melissa Senate
Also known for: See Jane Date
Page 56 Sentence 5: "I'll bet you like robots instead of princesses, like Rebecca. And I'll bet you love chasing after frogs in muddy creeks, like Rebecca. You're now at the age where you are likely wondering where your daddy is. I've never spoken to your mother since the phone call she made alerting me to your existence."
Context note: Rebecca is reading a letter written to her illegitimate half sister (by their father) on her sister's 5th birthday.

The Friday 56 is a weekly feature created and hosted by Storytime with Tonya and Friends. Please visit her site for details on how you too can participate. This feature was brought to my attention by the stupendous marvelous Cherry Mischievous.

I did it. That was a fun ideal...

Wow, I'm intrigued by that sentence.
I really don't like the cover of that Alice in Wonderland book you have on your previous post, but maybe it is a bit more like the story. I prefer the Disney version.

Emma said...

Interesting sentence. Huh.
