What happened in the chapter
This
chapter really highlights how much Josie dislikes her grandmother for the way
that she treats Josie and her mum. It also tells us about the traditional
rituals which Josie, her mama and her Nonna have followed for years. We find
out that Michael Andretti didn't know that Josie is his child and Nonna doesn't
know that Michael is Josie's father.
What is revealed about the characters?
This
chapter reveals that Michael Andretti is the father of Josie and Josie finally
meets him. He doesn't realize that Christina kept Josie and that he has a
daughter who is in year 12. He doesn't know how to react as he never really had
to think about meeting her.

what did I like/dislike about this chapter?
I
like the fact that Josie sticks up for herself and her mother when her Nonna
starts to put them down and starts to explain how Christina is such a bad
mother and how she didn't bring Josie up the right way. But I dislike how Katia
doesn't know that Michael is Josie's father and she invites him in to their
house and treats him nicer than she treats her own daughter.

Chapter Q&A
1.
Josie does not like nor agree with the rituals from her Italian background. She
believes that she is old enough to stay at home on her own and should be
trusted to study at her own house. Yet because of her Nonna and the things that
Nonna believes, Josie has to go to her Nonna's house every afternoon and follow
the rituals that her Nonna has.
