up
because
you
get
free
chocolates
every
day
and
people
are
so
nice

that
they
tidy
your
room
for
you.
The
buses
are
all
red
like
your
toys

you
got
last
Christmas.
Everyone
talks
with
that
funny
voice
but
are
nice.

Have
met
a
frend
called
Jane.
We
go
swimming
together.
Bye.

Dear
Alice,

I’m
sorry
about
Alex’s
behavior
this
week.
I
know
that
Rosie
is
upset

about
not
going
to
the
party
and
she
doesn’t
understand
why
she
hasn’t

been
invited.
To
be
honest
I
can’t
quite
understand
it
myself;
I
have
tried

to
talk
to
Alex
but
I’m
afraid
I
can’t
get
inside
the
mind
of
a
10-year-old

boy!

I
think
it’s
just
a
case
of
his
not
being
able
to
invite
her
because
the
other

boys
don’t
want
a
girl
to
go.
Unfortunately
he
seems
to
be
at
that
age
.
.
.

Please
give
my
love
to
Rosie,
it
seems
so
unfair
and
when
I
spoke
to
her
last

week
I
could
see
how
hurt
she
was.

Perhaps
myself
and
George
can
take
the
two
of
them
out
some
other
eve-

ning
during
the
week.

Best
wishes,

Sandra
Stewart

To
Rosie

The
party
was
not
very
good.
You
did
not
miss
anything.
The
boys
are
stu-

pid.
Brian
threw
his
pizza
in
Jameses
sleeping
bag
and
when
James
woke
up
he

had
tomato
and
cheese
stuck
in
his
hair
and
everything
and
my
mum
tried
to

wash
it
and
it
would
not
go
away
and
then
Jameses
mum
gave
out
to
Brians

mum
and
my
mum
went
real
red
and
my
dad
said
something
I
didn’t
here
and

Jameses
mum
started
to
cry
and
then
everyone
went
home.
Do
you
want
to
go

to
the
cimena
on
Friday
and
go
to
McDonald’s
after?
My
mum
and
dad
will

bring
us.

To
Alex

Sorry
about
your
party.
Brian
is
a
weirdo
anyway.
I
hate
him.
Brian
the

whine
is
his
name.
I
will
ask
my
mum
and
dad
about
the
cinema.
Look
at
Ms.

Casey’s
skirt
it
looks
like
my

Or
it
looks

all
over

Dear
Mr.

Mrs.
Dunne,

Cecelia
Ahern

I
was

meeting
with
you
to
discuss
Rosie’s
recent

behavior
in
school
and
her
note-writing
during
class.
How
