Stop Pretending by Sonya Sones is set in a mental hospital. The main characters sister stays in the white room with bars that cover the windows so there are no escapes. As her sister is transported to the hospital Cookie remains at her house with her mother and father. Those are the main characters of this thrilling book. Through this book cookie try’s to get through with the comments of people talking about her sister. Her mother on the other hand is said that she is going through depression. Her dad has just ignored the situation and is holding it very well. The plot of Stop Pretending is that cookie want to prove that her sister is not crazy and that she should be the one in the hospital and stays with that through out the book. She also wants her life to be like her friends and not like it is know. This all starts in the beginning of the story when cookies sister has a mental breakdown. It then leads for only one visit each day, which may not happen. Even though it’s a one-hour visit each day it brings the family closer and closer as it goes on. The writer is trying to tell us to be thankful for our health and for everything that we have even if it’s not a lot. This book was well written and has a good theme for all ages.
