Review
As days go on Sirena starts spending time at the beach. One day she finds herself out on the beach with her music blasting. Not being aware of her surroundings, she ends up almost stepping on a poisonous sea urchin. Suddenly a lifeguard comes running and sweeps her up before it can prick her. She never knew she could find love with her life being turned upside down but things were about to change for Sirena!
Hi I'm Sirena and this book is about the hard time when parents are splitting up. It's hard not to think about the times we had as a family together that we will not have anymore. This book will open your eyes to see how I face this bumpy road and try to stay positive. I am sure many kids who are struggling with the same situation can relate to this book and the best way to get over this rocky road in life.
