I think Skyla came back because she had no place to stay because she spent all her money. Skyla doesn't really care about being a tatoo artist because if she really cared she would work for the money she needs and not spend it.I feel like she only came back because she had nothing to do because when Clive wanted to go on a date she didn't hesitate to go. So I think Skyla was there because she had nothing better to do.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. she spent all the money for NOTHING!!! Like why????
DeleteI thing Gram and Skyla were arguing about how Skyla hadn't come back for 7 years and that she didn't have the rights to come back after she left Naomi and Owen in a really hard time.(She went shopping for so long and didn't come back after a week, during a bad storm and Naomi's dad didn't come back from the fishing trip.)
ReplyDeleteI agree. THOUGHT: I think something BAD happen when the dad was in the fishing trip.
Deleteyes i agree but i think the dad is dead
Deletei think the charechters feeling are... Naomi is happy and sad that her mom is back i mean it is her mom but her mom was mean to her.
ReplyDeleteOwen is excited that his mom is back after seven years. gram is worried that Skyla the mom is going to take Naomi and Owen away and is going to be mean again. Skyla is excited that she is seeing her kids after seven years without them. and Fabiola and Barnardo are scared for the same reason as gram. Eliana.
I agree with you Eliana. Fabiola,Barnardo and Gram are worried something BAD might happen to THE KIDS.Lie skyla might take the kids.
DeleteI think skyla came back because she spent all her money for nothing.Know she has no place to stay!! skyla came back because she had no where to stay.
ReplyDeleteSORRY I WROTE TWO RESPONDS. OOPS
Deletei think skyla came back because she had no place to stay. Because she SPENT ALL OF HER MONEY!!!! She also came back because she had NOTHING TO DO. QUESTION: why did she SPEND ALL THAT MONEY?????
ReplyDeleteGram and Skyla were arguing about how Skyla cant just come back after seven years and expect the kids to remember her and have the rights to take them away. Skyla was also mad at gram because she was upset about how gram had raised the children like when Owen had a piece of tape on his shirt she made a big fuss about it saying to gram "What did you do to my children?" In an angry tone.
ReplyDeleteskyla came back because... She maybe
ReplyDeletefelt guilty for leaving her kids(abandoning in them)and she said"i have rights"and changed her name to skyla instead of terri
lynn her given name becuse her new boy freind (clive told her to) honestly i
think he's crazy and trying to control her
I think skyla has been stealing from the same stores over and over again because in the book they have no money
