But in a children’s book, this could be a teaching moment that counters that messed up attitude. Something that sends the message to kids that it’s not okay, it’s not fair, it’s not “proof” of their adulthood, but a betrayal of them as children and human beings who deserve to be protected from predatory men. Something this book taught me was about the ups and downs of sibling's relationship. Having no siblings of my own, I never really understood or knew what having a sibling would be like. Though I probably don't wholly understand the enormity and joy of having a brother or sister, I now understand it much better. They lived the investigation with us.

When the family arrive at Melchester they meet Miss French, the school secretary. On their first night at the school, they are invited to dinner at the residence of Mr. Wilberforce, the Headmaster, and his wife. Pearl and her parents are devastated. Newspapers claim Jodie committed suicide. They leave Melchester College to live in a flat in London, because they say that they would not be able to face Melchester College ever again. Before they move, Sharon reveals she is having a baby, meaning the pregnancy test was hers. Pearl is not keen at first but soon grows to love her new sister May, even using the book that Mrs Wilberforce gave her to write about the story of her and Jodie, so that May can read it when she is older. At the conclusion of the book, Pearl states that while she will be a good big sister to May, she'll never be as good as Jodie was to her.
