This brings me back a few years. I will always remember how big an influence these books had on me as a child and just how much Jaqueline’s works instilled my love for both reading and writing. Now fast forward to now and i’ve just graduated with a degree in film and screenwriting and and hopefully going to be working on writing films/shows all because when i was a young child i pick up these books and fell head over heels in love with the magical abilities a book can posses to transform you to a whole other world. Thank you so much

I read this as part of a readathon with a prompt to read a childhood book.

It was very nostalgic re-reading a Jacqueline Wilson book. I forgot how dark this book actually was. There are themes of abandonment, mental health problems and suicide. Jacqueline Wilson writes about heavy topics in a way that is perfect for young teenagers, she’s fab.
