Summary of Cathy Glass's The Saddest Girl in the World


Book Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 It was the third week in August, and Adrian, Paula, and I were enjoying the long summer holidays. We had just had a phone call from a social worker, Jill, who was looking to move a child. She thought of us. #2 I knew that the sand, now mixed with grass, would not be welcomed back into the sandpit by Paula, who liked the sand, as she did most things, clean. I asked Adrian to clean up Topsy and give her back to Paula. #3 The safety checklist for the house itself grew each year. The banister rails on the stairs had to be a set distance apart so that a small child couldn’t get their head, arm, or leg stuck in the gap. #4 When I answered the phone, it was a woman with a Scottish accent who was calling about Donna. She was taking her for a drive, and wanted to move her to a social worker. I agreed to let her do so.
