What do You think about Step By Wicked Step (1997)?
This book is one of the literature component for secondary school in Malaysia. Although I'm not using it in my school, at least as a teacher I should know the story. Therefore, I read it. In my opinion, this novel aren't not the best among those novels assingn for form 5 but it wasn't the worst. Its quite interesting but I think students in my school will not be able to imagine the setting in this novel. If we are going to do it, teachers have to show them using teaching aids like pictures and videos. The novel also contains a lot of flashbacks and difficult words(for form5 in my school to be specofied). However, it is a good story and overall, I like it.

This story is little bit boring.

Six main characters, Richard, Claudia, Pixie, Robbo, Colin and Ralph came from broken homes, and the book revolves around the kids upon solving ways they solved their family relationship problems. Except Richard of course, who at first props me with a lot of questions about his link to the five kids besides having a broken family, and my questions are still not resolved.What annoys me was that there was never a proper conclusion to this book. Like what was the real reason the kids are categorized together by Miss O'Dell, in fact, all of my questions were answered by blind guesses. But it was an easy read for me.
