This was a really good children's book. I really enjoyed it, and I think that even though it had many historical facts and references it would still be a good book for 10-12 year old girls, because it is gripping and relatable. I loved this book, and I loved reading about the adventures of Hetty ...
So I finished this book yesterday. I liked it. It was good.Lily is 11. When her mum goes off on holiday with a guy she met two days earlier, she is left to look after her 6-year-old twin siblings Baxter and Bliss, and 3 y/o sister Pixie. After her favourite teacher is left suspicious of her mum's...
i decided to read Sapphire Battersea because it belonged to a series of novels and i had already read Hetty Feather.the catergory Sapphire Battersea is under "a book that teaches you about another time and history. I put this under this category because the book was set in the early 1900's and it...
I thought this book was amazing and I think everyone in this world should read it. It is about two girls and about how they met and how they keep a relationship going and quite a big and shocking secret is revealed. At first, I didn't think this book was a good book for me and I really didn't wa...
Dans ce premier tome des Malheurs de Millie Plume, Jacqueline Wilson donne vie à une héroïne flamboyante, drôle et enjouée qui n'est pas sans rappeler une certaine Fifi Brindacier dont j'ai lu, plus jeune, les aventures extraordinaires ! Même crinière rousse, mêmes bêtises, j'ai retrouvé, attendr...
I thought this book was amazing. I didn't expect it to have the ending it had. When I finished the book, I wanted to start reading it all over again. Hetty does find her father and comes across the fact that he has a wife called Katherine and 2 children. Katherine does not like the fact that Hett...
I really enjoy this book as it it is yet another of JC family issues. It is about a girl called Destiny William and her very weak mum- who just happen to be related to the famous rockstar Danny Kilman; who lives with mature 6 year old Sweetie, shy 10 year old Sunset ( who throughout the story d...
I'm reviewing the books in this series on my blog, recommending them especially for young readers who read beyond age peers, loving an adventure story about young girls, with good parts about families and relationships included. Listening to one's dreams is a consistent theme along with never set...
This book is about these sisters Marty (the younger one) and Melissa (the older one) who are basically the complete opposite. Their mom is a dress maker and a school secretary. Their dad is a travel agent who is losing most of his income because of the rise in online booking. Their family is losi...
*WARNING- may contain SPOLIERS*I generally like this book. It was humorous, detailed, and very good. I liked the characters, especially Dad, Mum and Miss Suzanne. Even though Melissa was introduced a lot in this book, I think that Jacquline should have added more character to her. Maybe talk more...
What is it about:The Worst Thing About My Sister is about two sisters who seemingly despise each other. Their names are Melissa (the older one) and Marty (the younger one) and they couldn't be more different. Marty is the tomboy who loves her Converse boots, helping her dad with putting up shelve...
Oy vey, the feels! The poor heroine just can't catch a break. I'm sure it's meant to be a very realistic story, but poor Ella gets the worst of everything a child could go through: when her mom falls into a coma after giving birth, Ella is forced to start getting along with her stepdad; at sch...
Queenie is a story, set in the 1950s, about a girl and her Nan. When the two find out they have tuberculosis, they are put in two different hospitals, separated until they heal. With the Queen’s coronation coming up, there is no chance that these two characters are going to be able to get better ...
This book is good, not the best of Jacqueline's books, but still very good.I think the reason why I was not enjoy this book as much as I expected because it was based on a story I've never read before.(although this book still made sense without the original one.)I'm not a big fan of classic, but...
Sebenernya bukan pengen baca yang ini, tapi yang Lola Rose. Tapi ternyata Lolanya ga ada, jadinya baca ini deh.Buku Jacqueline kali ini bikin aku sanggup begadang... lagi! *nguaap*Ceritanya tentang gadis kecil bernama Charlotte, tapi dia lebih suka dipanggil Charlie. Karena menurut dia Charlotte ...

I decided to re-read this book recently because I have been adoring my old Jacqueline Wilson collection and having an adventure with my blasts from the past. Tracy Beaker is probably the most famous character that Jacqueline Wilson has created. This being the second book of her adventures, its a ...
The Diamond Girls is a novel by Jacqueline Wilson. Wilson has written many other children and tween novels. I haven’t read any of her other works, but I saw some of the series Girls in Love when I was younger. That was an adaption of the book of the same title by Wilson. The book is written in fi...

A book that I've read over and over again as a child, and now re-reading it as an adult! One of my all time favourite authors, whilst growing up, who has the gift of reaching out to millions of children! Jacqueline Wilson is able to conjure stories which every type of young person is able to rela...

She lives with her grandmother, grandfather and her father and her cat Mabel who is very old. Verity's mother died when she was a baby and although she is desperate to find out more a...
Saya selalu berpendapat, bahwa setiap anak kecil itu pasti lucu dan menyenangkan. Kalau ada seorang anak kecil yang tingkah lakunya menyebalkan, menjengkelkan, dan bikin saya pengen mentung dia, maka sudah pasti kalau orang tuanya jauh jauh jauh lebih menyebalkan.Misalnya saja seperti kejadian ya...

On a school trip to see the dinosaurs in the museum, everyone in the class has a packed lunch. Everyone, that is, except for Dinah. Until a friendly iguanodon decides to help... Soon Dinah has a very special packed lunch - and a huge surprise to come!
The true Jacqueline Wilson story. I Have only read one of her other books, but I think I can still say that this book is very true to her fictional style. JW really can write for children. She knows what they want and need and how to present it. Easy and entertraining. 100% child friendly. Even t...

Pikiran pertama saya setelah membaca buku ini adalah buku ini bukan buku anak-anak. Isinya sedikit…errr…kurang sopan untuk anak-anak. Mungkin buku ini cocok buat remaja yang tua-an dikit *halah*.Kali ini tokoh utama kita, Lola Rose, mempunyai Mum yang sangat cantik, mantan foto model dan punya Da...
When his dad decides to send him on an adventure holiday, poor Tim--who is more suited to armchair pursuits--realises that this could well turn out to be the very worst time of his entire life. Little does he know quite how bad things will get, especially when he is forced to bunk-in with the hid...
I've read a few of Jacqueline Wilson's books by now, and I do recall quite liking Double Act and not disliking whatever the other one I read was - though nothing too special, she can write a very natural, realistic voice for a young girl. This book, however... wow no. See, to ME, it just wasn't t...
Jacqueline Wilson produces a story, slightly different to her older novels. The story focuses on a girl who is partially sighted, yet she wants to be treated the same as other children and be able to make her own decisions, without her disability stopping her. She travels to the corner shop alone...
....I had a week before me, during which I was planning and packing for a very big trip, two thick books lined up in the queue (which would be the wooden box between my front door and the couch), and Dustbin Baby already read. I was not that impressed, and took a stroll through the giant spreadsh...
I have chosen this book to review as it is one that particularly stands out in my mind going back to my earlier years of finishing primary school and entering second level. This writing is based around a young girl who begins, in the shadow of her “skinny beautiful model” friends, to self depreca...

This was just another children's book read. Juliette seemed quite set on having me read Jacqueline Wilson books for the way she writes about girls. I must say I like it. I'm glad someone's putting the record out there the way it actually goes--parents get divorced, kids get bullied, summer cam...
I decided to re-read this book recently, and although I liked this book better then the previous instalment in Tim's life, I still found myself eager to finish it because there are more things I would rather have read. Although, I loved Jacqueline Wilson growing up and this book is another fine s...

She was worried when she heard about the argy-bargy between Vincent’s mum and Vincent’s dad. ‘I think I’d better get back to looking after all the children today,’ Mum said, and she got up for breakfast. ‘Oh Mum, don’t be silly. You still seem very fluey to me,’ I said. ‘I certainly look a bit fl...
said Natalie. “Don’t worry. I’ll come back,” said the monster. “Promise?” said Natalie. “You bet!” said the monster. Natalie got ready to jump off the saucer. Then she saw a HUGE monster. “Aaaaah!” said Natalie. “Miaow,” said the huge monster. “It’s the school cat!” said Natalie. “But it’s much b...
HETTY, IS that you?’ I sat up, dazed, squinting in the sunlight. I didn’t have any idea how long I’d been lying there on the sands. I’d cried for so long, but then I must have fallen asleep. Perhaps I was still dreaming now, because a strangely familiar child was squatting beside me, calling my n...
I think I'm going to get a stepmother. There are lots of stepmothers in my favorite book of fairy tales. Don't go, “Yuck, boring!” Fairy tales are seriously cool, much scarier than any R-rated video you've ever secretly watched at a sleepover. Snow White's stepmother is the scariest of all. She d...
She and her sisters were rolling around together, then Shanti trotted over to my son Josh, climbed on his lap and peed on him. Josh, then, was very put out. We sponged his trousers and the breeder dried him off with a hairdryer. One puppy ran into the crate and cowered. Her sister froze. Shanti i...
It was decided that the other girls would work on the three classic designs while I simply painted my fairies on top for the special deluxe range. Mrs Roberts suggested my wages needed revising and paid me an astonishing twenty-one shillings a week. ‘Don’t you dare tell any of the other ladies in...
Skippy smiled. She always smiles. If you told her the Bogeyman was coming to take her out to tea she’d clap her hands and smile. I didn’t smile. I can’t stick Mick. I don’t see why Mum has to have a stupid boyfriend at her age. She says he makes her happy. I can’t see why she can’t just be happy ...
The man made a cradle out of oak and carved buttercups and daisies round the side. The woman sewed many silk outfits and embroidered flocks of lovebirds and butterflies on every single baby garment. The years went by. The cradle gathered dust in a corner because the woman ...
I cry—heaps! Not just when I’m sad. I often cry watching videos. I can even be reduced to tears by cartoons. I just have to think of Mrs. Jumbo and little Dumbo desperately twining trunks and my eyes prick.I cry when I’m frightened, too. If a teacher shouted at me in primary school I’d start blub...
‘Then you could look at all her books. I’m sure she’d let you borrow some yourself,’ I said. ‘No, I’ve got things to do, party games to plan,’ said Harley. I turned to Jodie and started begging her in turn. ‘No way. I wouldn’t even if you’d asked me first. I’ve got things to do too,’ she said huf...
says Anna. “Oh, Eggs! Watch your juice. You’re spilling it all.”“No! You weren’t listening,” I say. “I don’t want him to come.”“I thought you just said you did,” says Anna, stripping Eggs stark naked and stuffing his pajamas straight into the washing machine.“I’m all bare. Look at my willy, Ellie...
Chapter Two OUR HOTEL WAS called the Gwesty Bryn Nodfa. Gwesty is Welsh for hotel. We were guests in the Gwesty. There weren’t many other guests because it’s quite a little hotel. Two old ladies looked out of the Gwesty guest lounge and saw Biscuits and me and said, ‘Oh dear! Boys! They’ll start ...
