A review by titanic
Cookie by Jacqueline Wilson
5.0
"Dad is a bad man because
a) he gets so cross
b) he orders us around
c) he's a great big bully"
Finishing this book feels like a huge accomplishment because of how long I've been wanting to read it! It was embarrassingly good, and funny and had a really strong message. I honestly became so attached to Dilly's achievements and breaking away from her abusive husband, protecting not only Beauty, but herself. I was so proud, and happy!
The ending is a little cheesy, and makes me scrunch my toes up with embarrassment but it was enjoyable and reminded me why I love Jacqueline Wilson books. They have meaning in the words, and it's focused on real problems but the way she writes makes it so child friendly and I love that about her books. I'm also glad Wilson didn't write Dilly and Mike together, she just left them as friends which made me happy because Dilly said that she wanted to be on her own for a while, another thing that made me proud. Wilson didn't force the relationship, I loved it.
Wilson was able to tackle some really serious problems in this book, ones that doesn't make children run away crying because it's violent. She tackles bullying and abusive relationships and shows that this is not right and will hopefully stay with children so they can see the warning signs of these problems. It was so beautifully written!
