Summary: The Illustrated Mum
Comment: This was a great book and I really liked it. The book is from the point of view of the younger daughter named Dolphin and it's about her mum, Marigold, not really a regular mum. She is covered with tattoos that all have a meaning or memory in her life. She goes out a lot and drinks. Dolphin tries to take care of her mum, but her sister, Star, has gotton tired of her behavior and doesn't care much about Marigold anymore. One night when Marigold goes to see Emerald City's reunion concert and finds her old boyfriend that see was always crazy about and is Star's father. Star loves her father and he loves Star, but he doesn't love Marigold. Star ends up living with her father, breaking Marigold and Dolphin's heart. Marigold even goes more crazy and does something so SHOCKING! Dolphin gets so scared that she calls for an ambulance, even though she knew Marigold hated hospitals. Now Dolphin is alone and doesn't want the Social to get involved. So she and her only friend, Oliver, end up looking for her father with the only information Dolphin knew about him from her mum, that his name was Micky and he was a swimming teacher. " ' This is an emergency,' said Oliver. 'One more' "..." ' Oh, hello. Look, this sounds a silly question but can you tell me if there's anyone called Micky working as an instructor at your pool?' 'No Mickys,' said the voice. 'See,' I mouthed at Oliver. 'None at all?' Oliver persisted. 'Well. I'm Michael. I did get called Micky once. But that was ages ago.' ........ 'Oh gosh, oh gosh!' Oliver squeaked. 'And do you ever remember meeting a lady, a very pretty lady weith red hair and lots of tattoos?' 'You mean...Marigold?' "
