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.
