such a heartbreaking yet warming book about coming into your own and finding yourself. I also love the film
I was not a huge fan of this novel, perhaps because I read it at a later age, and therefore the writing style was a bit too immature for me. A nice concept for a novel, however the book was so short it didn't have enough space for character and plot development, and so I feel the novel was not executed to its potential best.

one of the few jacqueline wilson books that has held up really well with age. i re-read this recently and found myself very much enjoying it. april's story of being abandoned and shunted through care homes was revealed at just the right pace, and the ending of her finding not her mother but the man who discovered her in the bin and finding solace in that was a nice surprise.
An easy to read novel for children. I like the fact Wilson focuses on real life issues that may be affecting her audience.

This is probably my favourite one that I read as a teenager out of all the Jacqueline Wilson books. I have read this book 4 times, I think I thought I could relate a lot to her feelings, keeping them all inside and thinking a lot about her situation. Brilliant read, I would like to re read all her books, so fantastic.
