A very interesting and fun short story to do with first years. It is very much a Catholic religious story so some background context may be needed for non Irish or non Catholic students but very relatable otherwise with a fun protagonist. 

For a short story, this is a great one. Funny, vividly detailed, and full of emotions we can all relate to. I'm glad I was made to read it :-)

I liked the writing style, but the story didn’t interest me and honestly, I didn’t understand it either. The story is about a boy who has to make his first confession to a priest. 

3.5 ⭐️ read this for school

I, too, would like to kill your grandma and Nora, little Jackie.
