This is the space to tell us how you would answer the writing prompt that appears in CrimeBits on page 229.
There’s something about being eleven years old and having no real say over what you do with your life. You can scream IT’S NOT FAIR all you like, but it means nothing to your parents. Strike that, she only has one parent now. No matter what her mum thinks, there’s no way she’s calling him dad. He can’t just show up when she’s aged nine and expect to replace her real dad.
It doesn’t matter that she doesn’t see him anymore.
That he doesn’t seem interested. He’s still her real dad. Only, she can’t find him now.
She’s scared she never will.
