About this deal

It is not your typical book about a relationship between a young girl and her family. The girl starts off by seeming to be the adult in the family as well as quite unlikeable in the first story. Her development and relationships with others help her to grow into a character that I ended up liking. Crummy Mummy and Me is a book for children in the middle age range. It was first published in 1988.

Anne Fine: Crummy Mummy and Me

Poor Ellie is horrified when Tuffy drags a dead bird into the house. Then a mouse. But Tuffy can't understand what all the fuss is about. The age group this book is aimed for will miss some subtle things that I noticed. This book has a lot of subtext. The mother is a character that under different penwomanship would have fit into a much darker type of novel. There are hints about this.

How would you feel if your mother had royal-blue hair and wore lavender fishnet tights? But Minna's whole family (including her mum's punk boyfriend, Crusher Maggot) is a bit unusual. Being the only sensible one is not easy for Minna...

Sest kas on võimalik, et ema, kes lubab lapsel olla üleval nii kaua kui tahab mis sest, et homme on koolipäev söödab sisse väiksele lapsele tohutus koguses erinevaid magusaid tooteid ja seal samas on heal juhul 10 aastane, kes ütleb, et ta ei tohiks neid üldse süüa. Ja ütleb emale, mis on normaalne riietus ehk millega kõlbab minna õpetajaga kohtuma.

One of the most interesting things I found when reading this book is that it is thirty years since it was published. Aside from a reference to a VCR, you could think it was a modern novel.

Growing up is a long and confusing business. I try to show that the battle through the chaos is worthwhile and can, at times, be seen as very funny." In 1994, this unique combination of humour and realism inspired the hit movie MRS. DOUBTFIRE, based on Anne's novel MADAME DOUBTFIRE and starring the late comedic genius Robin Williams.The second chapter is the weakest: their TV is stolen, the family has nothing else to do so they decide to take a ride and see a bit of nature. What follows is the most ridiculous and far-fetched resolution to a burglary EVER.
