       One For The Murphy's  is an amazing book written by an amazing author, Lynda Mullaly Hunt. One For The Murphy's, was a  book published in 2012, winning many awards like the Nerdy Book Award winner 2012, ABA New Voice Pick 2012,  ABA Summer Picks 2013, and the really big award, Anderson Mock's Newbery Award Winner! One for the Murphy's one book that she has wrote, and the one that I am reading, and Fish in a Tree  that I am diffinitly going to read after I am done with One for the Murphy's. One for the Murphy's is about a girl in middle school that has been beaten be her stepfather. Carley, the main character, has been moved to a different home while her mother I sin the hospital, after many months, Carley has grow a love for her foster family that loves her back. She has also met an amazing friend that doesn't know about her past, but only halfway through knows what might happen?

      In this book, the Murphy family reminds me of one side of my whole family. First of all it is because our name is Murphy and because some of us are really kind and would take anyone into our home if it was an emergency. Carly, reminds me of a girl that came to my old school in Nebraska that was a forgien exchange student from Korea. Which means that she lived with another family that went to our school and took care of them, and Carly was almost like a forgien exchange student too. This situation kind of reminds me of when I had to live with my aunt for a couple days while we were moving from Nebraska to Arizona.

      I am in love with this book because of the incredible description and details. In this book you also notice that Carly grows a love for the Murphy's. I began to think what else could happen if I'm only half way through the book? I guess I'll just have to keep reading to find out.
