In One for the Murphy's , Carley the main character, is an independent, curious, and spontaneous. All the characters in this book have many different treats and qualities that separate themselves from each other. One for the Murphy's is full of many different details that make the book very interesting and more appealing to the eye. The book cover is also very colorful and makes you wonder about the book. One for the Murphy's does very much, remind of the book Deep Dark and Dangerous.

        This book reminds of Deep Dark and Dangerous because of the description and details used in both stories. One key detail that I noticed in both books was that the main characters lived temporarily with people that are not their biological parents. Ali the main character in Deep Dark and Dangerous, lived in the summer with her aunt and cousin. Carley the main character in One for the Murphy's lived with a foster family for a period of time. Another reason why these two books connect is because the are both very close in age, Ali was 13 and Carley was 12 making them have some of the same thoughts and feelings. The two books are similar because in the books both main characters got angry or upset with another character, Ali had a few problems with either her little cousin or the Sissy the spirit that comes to get revenge. Carley, got in the big argument with Daniel that caused her to run away and she had some problems with Mrs.Murphy because she wanted to call her mom.

       One for the Murphy's and Deep Dark and Dangerous are two books that have absolutely nothing the same by just scamming through the pages, but once you take a long look at both of them you might find more in common than you think that you would. I bet that one book that you are reading right now has many details and key parts that are in a book that you have previously read (not  books in a series).  There are many other similarities between these two stories but there are also so many differences that make each story unique.
