The first thing I would like to say is don’t be intimidated by the size of this book! It is really small but like they say good things come in small packages and that saying really does apply to this book. Shut Up is about a young girl named Mary who is having a hard time at home. Her sister is always picking on her no matter what she does it’s always wrong in the eyes of her sister and that was really hard on her. Also her Mother was always in such a bad mood because of her sister so she got her moms bad mood taken out on her too.
The main point of view in the story was Mary. She doesn’t seem so strong at first but she really is. Not many little girls would have dealt with that they would have done what Mary was planning on from the beginning or they would of just run away and not have come home unless they were dragged kicking and screaming. She has her ups and downs as any other little girl but I was glad in the end because a certain someone moved out and her life got better.
The second point of view we have is Mary’s brother Paul. He keeps himself out of all the yelling and anger by simply keeping quiet, which he tries to give Mary this tip but it doesn’t help her at all. We follow him dealing with his struggles of trying to be a better brother and be there for Mary.
Overall this story is a really great thing to read about because you don’t know how bad it is for other people out there like Mary even though her character Is completely fictional. Even though her character is Fictional I’m still glad to have read her story.
