Lina’s Many Lives by Sally Rippin
Lina is trying to help in
the school magazine, but Sarah Buttersworth, a mean girl, makes her life
as miserable as can be. Meanwhile, Mary, a good friend of Lina’s, gets
completely caught up with her new television, and Lina finds herself in a
knot. Added to that, Lina’s mum doesn’t seem very well. Can Lina
overcome all these problems, or will her decisions spell trouble?
The
main character in Lina’s Many Lives is Lina. She, unlike her family who
were born in Italy, was born in Australia. Lina wants to be a writer or
a journalist, but she believes her family will not like her to. She
believes her father wants her to study medicine or law. However, when
her father shares some family secrets with her she finds that everything
is not quite as it seems.
I found Lina’s Many Lives quite
touching. It is great for children and adults because they learn many
things about life in 1956 and if you were Italian, how you would be
treated.
I think that people who are passionate about writing or
want to be a journalist would like this book. This is because Lina
liked writing and wanted to be a writer, so you can share the same
dream. Also, if you have had similar experiences to Lina, you would like
this book because you would know that other people had been through
what you have.
