5. Story! The book is called Mummy from Hell. It’s about how a mother is absolutely terrible to her children. She has eight kids and she does terrible things to her oldest boys. She does things like tie them to a chair and beat them with a wooden chopping board for hours, dumping them in a bath of freezing water, making them sit outside in the snow. When they are older, the oldest of the two moves to England. (This is a true story – written by Ken and Patrick Doyle about their life)
