This book is good, not the best of Jacqueline's books, but still very good.
I think the reason why I was not enjoy this book as much as I expected because it was based on a story I've never read before.(although this book still made sense without the original one.)
I'm not a big fan of classic, but 'five children and it' sounds like fun, maybe if I finished that book this one will be much more fun to me, this book, as same as any other Jacqueline's books, shows the great power of magic and the beauty of family,brothers and Sisters, even though they didn't share a blood.
3.5 stars for this book and 4stars for Maudie, my favorite.

Jacqueline Wilson makes a brilliant tribute to my all time favourite book, five children and it. Rosalind and her younger brother Robbie and lumped with their dad and his new family over the summer. Bring in the psammead and their holiday takes a magical turn. With bumps in the journey, just like the original, can the children find a way to make the wishes bring this reluctant family together.

A lovely book. All of my kids (9, 6 and 4) found it funny and could follow the story quite well. I adored 'Five Children and It' on which this book is based and so it was a nice trip down memory lane for me too, especially when the children wish themselves back into the original book!
The Psammead is still endearingly grumpy, the wishes still go wrong (on the whole). A great modern take on a classic children's story.
