Seeing Things
Something very strange is happening, and it's right before her eyes....
It was strange how staring at things could alter their appearance. Miranda thought it was weird how she could transmute quite ordinary things into images. It was no good. What with Grandma looking after the family, little Jimmy to care for, her sister's baby bellowing in the middle of the night - not to mention Yvette's creep of a boyfriend Dave - it was no wonder Miranda had started to see things. Trouble is, it soon starts to get a bit out of hand, and it's about time they all discovered what is really going on.

Definitely weird. The line between real and pretend was blurred, but it didn't seem to make much difference. The main character was wrapped up in her own problems, complaining about everyone else. Her pain about her parents' death didn't really come across, just her dissatisfaction with everything and every one. It was exciting when she got kidnapped, but afterwards the book was quite pedestrian.

Robin Klein writes interesting main characters who i always have a love hate relationship with. This story got a little confusing at times but is still another amazing story by this fantastic Australian author.
