Everything on a Waffle   
     Everything on a Waffle by Polly Horvath tells the story of an eleven year old girl named Primrose Squarp after he parents get lost at sea.She does not believe that they are dead and she refuses to attend their memorial service.  Primrose is back and forth  moving from house to house between her two caregivers Uncle Jack and Miss Perfidy. The setting on the story is in Coal Harbour, British Columbia. Throught the story Primrose suffers two very serious accidents and then is put in foster care. This story was a okay story it was not boring but it did not have a lot of action. A young girl trying to find out were she fits in in life. 



      The main character in the story is Primrose a eleven year old girl, she is watched by her Uncle Jack and her elderly neighbor Miss Perfidy since her parents are "dead" or lost at sea. She does not believe that her parents are dead. She thinks they are stranded somewhere looking for help. The plot to the story was good the story was interesting and involved adventure which I personally enjoyed. The writing was simple and did not use huge words which I thought was ok because I like big words. The theme of the story in my view was strength because Primrose had strength the whole time that her parents were still alive and she did not let anyone tell her otherwise. This story shows that the little girl has trust and strength in her parents and how she still believes they are alive and that they are lost at sea and cannot find there way home. 

        The suspense of the story was that her parents could or could not be alive. The setting took place in Coal Harbour, British Columbia. The conflict of the story was the way she always moved from place to place she did not have good structure in her life. It was a realistic story in a twisted way, because she had faith that her parents were still alive and that were stranded somewhere she did not believe they were dead. The story had its funny moments sometimes it made me want to laugh out loud. Primrose is a very dynamic character because she changes through the story and becomes a better person as she grows through the story and finding out who she is in life. 


  Everything on a Waffle was a roller coaster story. Food in general plays an important role in Primrose's story. Each chapter has its own special recipe. Through this novel Primrose is trying to find out her place in it all. From where her parents are to wether she stays in a foster home or even if her parents dont come back she is finding who she is through the novel. Every reader from ages ten and up should enjoy this roller coaster of a novel. At points it will make you want to cry and at others it will make you want to laugh. Readers will want to join Primrose on her story.
