A review by lucyjunee
Dustbin Baby by Jacqueline Wilson
4.0
This book was truly beautiful. An amazing story of a fourteen year old girl trying to find herself when she started out in the world, all alone.
Dumped in a dustbin minutes after she was born, April has never really known who she is. On her fourteenth birthday, she skives off school and goes on a life-changing journey to discover her true identity.
In this book, Wilson tackles subjects such as abuse, suicide, alcoholism and abandonment extremely respectfully, and really opens the eyes of her readers. This book was amazing, and April's story will stay with me for years to come.
