Another Forgotten Child

I have recently read a book called ' Another Forgotten Child. This book was written by Cathy Glass. This book was a true story and it was a really sad story to read.

The book had text that was easy to read and to understand. The storyline in this book was very sad but it was very addictive, i couldn'y put the book down.

The book was all about Cathy Glass. Cathy was a foster carer and she was asked to look afetr an 8 year old girl with challenging behaviour named Aimee.  Aimee had been placed on the child protection register at birth as her mother was a drug addict and couldn't look after Aimee properly. Cathy, the social services and Aimee's teachers had no idea why Aimee wasn't brought into care sooner. As the story goes on you learn more and more about the physical and mental abuse that Aimee had to suffer before help was given to her. Did Cathy and the social services manage to find Aimee a family that would adopt her and help her get her life back on track?  I would suggest that you read the book and find out, it really is a great book to read.
