Critic reviews

"This is the work of a true children's writing genius.' (The Good Book Guide)

"This is Wilson on top form, moving with ease between reality and fantasy, darkness and light." (Books for Keeps)

"Another beautifully written Jacqueline Wilson story." (Reading Matters)

Absolutely Wonderful Story

I love this book so much. Some ppl complain that the content is not suitable for kids. I say this book is for all ages. Kids wouldn’t notice some details and still able to enjoy the story. But as an adult reader, the story is incredibly well written and so realistically reflects the living struggles we’d face in the real world. All Wilson’s characters are unique in their own way. I’ve been a big fan since I was 11 yr old. I was reading her books in Chinese. Now I’m almost 28, if reread some of her books and I always get new thoughts and reflections from her book. Also kudos to the narrator, lovely voice and excellent tone control.
