Since the start of this term my Reading club group have been reading a book called the end of the alphabet. It's a bout a fourteen year old girl called Ruby Yarrow, that a has really annoying/naughty brother called Max, Two little brothers and her Mum plus Step Dad. Her Mum used to spoil Max when he was younger and now he has turned into a nasty kid. Ruby's Mum always relies on her to cook the dinners, clean the house, look after the little ones plus a whole lot of other jobs. Ruby can't read or write, so Max always gets to have his own room so he can 'Consecrate' on his homework while Ruby is the one that is with the little kids, and she actually needs a desk so she can learn! In the end Max is so sick of living with the rest of the Yarrow's so his Father send him a ticket to go at live with him in Australia, mean while Ruby has a job trying to save up to go to Brazil, and Max soon decides that we wants to come home but her parents can't pay for the ticket home. Ruby ends up paying for her horrible brother to come back to New Zealand but she stands her ground and keeps her own room which causes more trouble in the house. So Calvin - (The step Dad) Has a great idea to build a sleep out with Max so he can have his own room and so can Ruby until he goes to counseling and his counselor says he shouldn't get the sleep out, he should be inside with the rest of the family. He continued to build the sleep out but it actually became Ruby's. In the end everything was good and Ruby had book her tickets to go to Brazil! Also at the beginig Ruby was like a door mat but her best friend Tia told her to stop letting her family walk all over her and stop being so shy. Now she is going to Brazil, she has sorted out Max and her Mum doesn't spoil him anymore, and she might have won a boyfriend over....
