sometimes her mom can be a lot of fun.
Then, she talks about her two brothers: Lex and Seb. Lex is her
oldest brother, for other people, a good-looking boy. He is good at
sports, and he is on most sports teams and has an entire shrine of
trophies. In the other hand is Sebastian. He is not good at sports, and he
is a autistic. The autism is not a disease, and is not contagious. Tink
believes that Seb is really hard to explain to people. For her, he is just
her brother. In summary, when you are reading between the lines, you

according to her) and their “hilair” times (Postscript: hilair is the peculiar
word for “Hilarious”). Then, with adventures they met a boy, Blue-
Haired, who just moved in next door and who Isadora look from her dark
room. Obviously, although Isadora and her BFF are teenagers, and boys
are a topic of conversation, their friendship is the most important for
her.

words, all the boys in their class. And the second one is a list of boys
who they have crushes on. Freddie´s List has seven boys, and recently
