I still remember reading this book for the first time and then a couple of months later, reading it again. Jacqueline Wilson is/was not my favourite author, but this book was good.

Floss has a hard decison to make. Her parents are divorced and she lives with her mum, stepdad and baby step-brother during the week and her dad at the weekend. Her mother suddenly announces that the family is moving to Australia for six months because of Flossie's stepdad's new job. Floss is toen--she loves her mum, of course; but she doesn't want to leave her dad OR her school and best friend, Rhiannon. It's hard, but shec chooses to stay with her dad in his chip shop, but things aren't working out so well. Rhiannon has suddenly become a little mean and Floss misses her mum terrribly. And then there's that thing with her dad--what exactly is he keeping from her?

This is the first Wilson book that I've read and I really liked it. The characters are quite realistic and the story about divorced parents and separating form friends very relatable to many kids.

Love it. This book has been my favourite for so many years, and it's all down to Jacqueline. Her writing style and the fact that she takes the horror of the world and the too-awkward-to-mention topics and brings them into a realistic but enjoyable story, always equates to a 5 star for me. Honestly, I love this book so much. Just writing this now makes me want to grab my battered and bruised copy and re-read it for the umpteenth time.

This book is one that I began a while ago and just now returned to and I'm very glad that I did. Jaqueline Wilson is, apparently, one of the most popular authors in the UK and I can see why. She weaves a simple, yet rich and heart-warming story full of feeling and humor. A good one for any reading gal in your life!

This was my favorite Jacqueline Wilson book, which is saying something. The cover instantly puts me in mind of caravans and chip butties and kind dads.
