Minna's mum is not any 'normal' mum. In this story the mother/child roles are reversed as Minna seems to act more like a responsible adult than her mother does!This book deals with issues that some young chidlren can relate to in a funny and enlightening way. There are 7 mini stories in this book, each about a different event in Minna's life. Minna gives the reader an insight on family feuds, dealing with pets dying or as well as parental relationships(amongst other things). I'd recommend this book for yr 4/5 children to read independently
