More About the Book

¨Impossible¨ starts when Lucy was very young and found a secret place in the house of her foster parents. There she found a letter, but she can barely understand it because she is too young. So she thought it was a magic spell and said the first sentences. After that, she put all those pages inside the secret place; hoping soon she will remember about the secret place and the ¨magic spell¨. Years later, she forget about it and now she is a junior. Her life has been perfectly normal during those last years, until her past is chasing her down once again.

 Miranda, Lucy´s real mother, starts making her appearances again.  She walks on the street, singing ¨Scarborough Fair¨, but in a different version. Miranda was like sister for Lucy´s foster mother, Soledad.

Soledad is hard worker and her boss gave the job of being her assistant to a very handsome man. He seems charming by the description it is given in the book, but I am pretty sure he is not what he seems. I just don´t like.  His name is Padraig Seeley. Yeah, I know, the name is also really strange. Anyway , it seems that I am not the only one that doesn´t like him. Lucy and Zach, Lucy´s best friend, don´t like him also. They meet him when all are waiting for Gray Spencer take Lucy to the prom.

When Gray Spencer shows up, things get really out of control because of Miranda´s unexpected appearance. Then things get a little better and Gray takes her to the prom and they all seem happy. The problem comes after the prom is finish and all of the people are going to the after party. Gray takes Lucy back to the place of the prom, that now is deserted, and it ends up that is not really Gray. I am very not sure what really happened there, but thank God Zach arrives and helps Lucy.

Impossible

¨Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

 Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme

Remember me to one who lives there 

She must be a true love mine¨

Sounds familiar? Well, for the ones that don’t know what is this phrase, this phrase is part of the lyrics of a song that my grandma used to listen when I was 6 six years old. The name of the song is ¨Scarborough Fair¨ and I still listen to it these days. Supposedly, it is telling an ancient and magical legend from time ago. The weird thing about this song is that no one really knows neither the true person who wrote it nor the original version.

At first, when I saw the book ¨Impossible¨, I wasn´t really sure if I wanted to read it. It didn´t seem interesting, but then my teacher gave it to me, so i had to read it anyway. I start reading the first pages, and something got my attention. The name of the main character was Lucy Scarborough, and also that this story was inspired by the ballad ¨ Scarborough Fair¨. Then I instantly felt connected with this book because it remind me of my grandma and when I lived with her many years ago.

¨Impossible¨ is about a girl, Lucy Scarborough, which has seventeen years and lives with her foster parents. Lucy´s family have been cursed for generations, and they´ve been forced to attempt thee impossible tasks.  If they failed, then they became crazy, like Lucy´s real mother. That is why she lives with foster parents. Now is the turn of Lucy. Her mother tried to warn her before, but Lucy didn´t listen. She has to succeed to have a normal life again.
