About this book

Since Mammy died, everyone seems to have given up. Dad never smiles, Sally's always in a black mood, Conor keeps himself to himself and even Sparkler the dog doesn't want to go for walks. But Mimi is determined not to give up on anything or anyone. This gently witty and very moving story - told in Mimi's unique voice - is unforgettable. Written by primary school teacher John Newman, it deals with tough subjects in a very warm and sympathetic manner. An emotional but funny read for children aged 7 and over.

I loved this book because it had funny bits and sad bits. I also liked the way Mimi sucked her thumb the way I sometimes do :]

I really liked the book and I always wanted to keep on reading it because it was so exiting. There was also funny things in it even though it had really sad bits as well. It was nice that it was happier at the end and I would definitely encourage other children to read it.

This is a really good book about Mimi and her family after their mum has died. I think it is really good but a bit sad as well as funny. It is a really good book.

I thought Mimi was a really good book I liked the way each day she goes to different relations. The book was also quite sad the way Mimi's mum died and the way her dad was very sad because of it but it's good the way everyone turns happy again at the end. I would definitely recommend this book to other children

"Excellent"

5

I thought this book was absolutely brilliant. It was really funny and well written. My favourite character was Mimi's Gran because she would always make me laugh... Some parts were very sad, some were heart-warming. After a few pages I could not wait to see what would happen next. Excellent!!!

I think this is a brilliant book. It is very interesting and funny. There are lots of things that you can figure out and I like that type of book. Mimi seems very adventurous, just like me. I would recomend this book to all of my friends. My favorite character is Orla, because she tells very funny jokes. 10/10 for this book.

5

This is a brilliant book. I couldn't put it down. It makes you laugh because Mimi is so funny and cute and it makes you cry because she is also sad because her mammy has been killed and her family are a mess. Mimi is adopted and is bullied in school. I don't want to give away the story because lots happens and you will love it. Best book ever!
