**WALT** - predict what our novel is about based on the cover. When I look at the book cover I see bright colours and bright colours usely is used when you are happy but the look on the boys face does not look happy! The boys face looks very worried like he might get in deep trouble by someone. He looks about 10 - 11 years old. I think that the book will be about a boy that always has to look after his little brother and sister and is getting really annoyed because his mum works way too much and has no time to look after her own kids. I think that his mum will have another baby and because the baby is pretty much raised by him he might have got really annoyed and said Bumface and the baby repeated him and his mum had told him to not teach them any bad words, and that is why I think that the book is called Bumface. The blurb tells me that Angus is a very well behaved and is really nice to his parents that they trust him. e seams really good at problem solving because he want to find a way to get his mum to not have another baby.
