Jillian Jiggs by Phoebe Gilman
5.0
Read as part of the Young Adult Quarterly Challenge #21 (March 1-May 31, 2016) - children's book
5 million, trillion, bazillion stars - legitimately how I rated awesome things as a kid.
This is technically a re-read for me as it was my favourite childhood book - my nana gave me this for my 4th birthday and she wrote a lovely inscription inside.
Before I even picked this up to read again, I could hear the sing song rhyme of "Jillian, Jillian, Jillian Jiggs, it looks like your room has been lived in by pigs..."
Jillian Jiggs is a mischief maker, adventure taker and all around wildly imaginative kid is too busy playing to clean her room - no matter how many times her mum asks. I always loved Jillian as a kid because she was having so much fun and I love her even more as an adult because she is such a free spirit.
In my opinion, this should be a bookshelf staple for all kids - especially those with a wild soul - and it will definitely be one I read to my kids.
