My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece is a very good story about the effects of an act of terrorism on a family. A lot of sad things happen, but there are good things too.
In this book I like how Annabel Pitcher writes through the eyes of a ten-year-old boy. Jamie is a normal boy whose family is traumatised. The author has done an exceptional job of displaying the emotions of the characters, it is this and Jamie's hopeful outlook that make the book flow brilliantly and make you want to read every last word.
I hope Annabel Pitcher is going to write another book, and if she does she will be a very successful author. If I were to rate this book I would give it 10 out of 10.
