My Brother Bernadette: Part 2

By JACQUELINE WILSON, Illustrator DAVID ROBERTS

They've set up the summer project in the school next to our estate. It's being held for a whole month this summer. All the kids on the estate are going. We're all a bit older than Bernard but Bernard's bright, so they said he could go too.

"I don't what to go" Bernard said again. But Dad made him.

"It'll do you good to have a bit of fun," he said. A helper took hold of Bernard's hand.

"Cheer up pal," he said. "What would you like to do this morning, eh?

"I want to play football," I said. "Come and watch me Bernard."

The helper decided that Bernard had to choose an activity for himself. Bernard didn't want to play football or baseball or judo or trampolining.

"What about model car making? said the helper.

"All right," said Bernard.
