Remember Remember 2nd Edition by Sue Whitaker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Remember, Remember is an ideal book to read to a group of children, perhaps in junior school, senior school or a youth group as part of a topical firework theme. It is a short story, set in London around fourteen year old Carla Robinson.
Carla is a typical teenager, part of a group of cool friends, who are into make-up, hair and following trends which make them fit in with the popular crowd. This all changes for Carla on the night of November 5th when she is victim of a cruel accident.
She awakes two days later in the burns unit of the local hospital with memory loss, intense pain and a radically changed future. This book reaches out with its safety message to all on bonfire night.

The randomness of fate…the wrong place at the wrong time. Sad but true for teenagers and adults alike. It’s a reminder of how quickly and unexpectedly one’s life can change. Thanks for sharing, Rosie.
