True Colours By Lucy Lemay Cellucci: Summary

The book that I am reading is called True Colours, by Lucy Lemay Cellucci who is a great author. So far along the book the book I find that the plot of the book is developing well and that the all the details are going being stated clearly and entertainingly. I find that this book is an easy read since there are not many words that I do not understand and that I understand the main theme of the book in the first half. The main theme of the book is animal curtly or animal abusement in general and the book also touches on how animals are being abused in third world countries like India, China, Pakistan, and many others as well.
