Good Points
It's a good book because other children have been through what she's been through and understand how she feels. Also it has a happy ending. The book is also funny when Katie and Andy fight.
Bad Points
The book doesn't use too many exciting words in it. The story took a while to build up. We agree with another comment that Andy did go on a bit about her old house in Mulberry Cottage.
General Comments

Andy lives in between the two houses which she calls house A and B before she eventually meets Mr and Mrs Peters and now she also has a house C.
