The Worst Thing About My Sister

This Book is a MUST read!
I'm only on chapter 6 because,I only bought the book an hour ago,but I really want to read on,but I know if I do,I would have finished the book within another 30mins :-)

The book has medium sized font,and pictures on every few pages,suggesting the book is aimed at younger readers,but I think anyone will enjoy it.It's easy to read,and it sounds like ,Marty,the main character is a real person,telling you what she hates most about her sister.

Age Range: 8-12 (though anyone will enjoy it)
Stars out of 5 : **** (PRETTY DAMN GOOD)
Do I recommend this?: YES!!


Hope this was helpful,I got my copy,which is a hardback,at WHSmith and it was half price,the book is also half price at Waterstones :-)

New J.W book!

Jacqueline's new book was released A few days ago! Its called 'The Worst Thing About My Sister.'I haven't purchased the book but as soon as I do I will write a review :-)

I can't write my own paragraph about the book because I have not read it so I took this one from the waterstones website - I am not trying to copyright etc.

Being a sister isn't always easy...but what's the very worst thing about your sister? Marty and her sister Melissa couldn't be more different. Marty loves her Converse trainers, playing football, hiding in her secret den and helping her dad with his DIY. But Melissa loves Justin Bieber and all things pink, girly and pretty. The sisters can manage to live together, despite their occasional scraps but then Mum tells them they have to share a room. For Marty, having to share her bunk beds and lose her private sanctuary turns out to be the very worst thing about having a sister. But the girls soon discover that being too close for comfort can have unexpected consequences, and when an accident happens, the sisters realise they are
closer than they thought.

Dustbin Baby

I LOVE this Jacqueline Wilson book - It has to be up there in my top 5 :-)
April was abandoned in a dustbin at birth,and now on her 14th birthday she skips school to go to the places that have played a big part in her life - and to find her birth mother.I think this book is meaningful and touching book,it also deals with suicide,and other controversial issues so I recommend readers are 13+.

stars out of 5: *****
age audience: 13+
would I recommend this book: YES!

ps this book has been made into a feature length drama!It is defiantly a MUST watch - to watch the movie in full on youtube go to

Cookie

Cookie,is a book,with a friendly,yet quite hard hitting story to tell.
Beauty lives with her Mum,Dilly,and controlling Father, Gerry.Gerry is nasty, manipulative and controlling over their 3 membered family.When Gerry finally goes way too far,Beauty and her mum leave for good,with no plans or money.

The life they will enter is unpredictable and far off their old home and wealthy life style with Gerry,how will they manage?!

Stars out of 5: ✩✩✩✩✩
Audience Age Range: 9-13
Would I recommend this to someone else: Yes.

Hetty Feather

Is the book before 'Sapphire Battersea' about Hetty Feather, who got left at the Foundling Hospital when she was a baby,adopted until she was 5,then got sent back to the Foundling Hospital when she turned 5 because she was old enough to go back.Its a story of true friendship,emotion and feelings.It will make you laugh,cry,its unpredictable you never know whats on the next page,making you keep turning :-) (see picture of Hetty to the right)
By the way those of you who are wondering why she is called both Hetty and Sapphire,Hetty is the name the Hospital ignorantly christened her and Sapphire is the name her mother named her (which you find out in Sapphire Battersea)

I think this book is truly amazing and extremely powerful.
Recommend reading audience: 10 - 14
Stars out of 5: ✩✩✩✩
Do I recommend this book: Yes.

Sapphire Battersea

This is Jacqueline's most recently published book and is also the sequel to one of her many best selling books 'Hetty Feather'.It is a book narrated by Hetty Feather (also known as Sapphire Battersea)about her tough life as an orphan at the Victorian Foundling Hospital.
She starts off life as a scrawny, red headed baby,who gets adopted,until she is old enough to go back to the rough,and cruel Foundling Hospital.

Sapphire Battersea,is obviously related/carried on from 'Hetty Feather' although you do not have to have read it to understand 'Sapphire Battersea' for the first few pages you get filled in about Hetty's (Sapphire) life in general and what went on in the first novel.

This book is a fabulous read and makes you want to turn EVERY last page until you have finished! I think the age range for this book, is for around 10-14 year olds any younger and the reader wouldn't fully understand/get the most out of the book.

Overall the book is a great read,and I hope the information that I have given you about the book is enough to make you want to read both books about Hetty (Sapphire).




I rate this book: 4 stars
