bookswithlauren 's review for:
Cookie
by Jacqueline Wilson
When this book came out back in 2008, I was thirteen. I devoured this book in one day and it soon became one of my favourites. I have revisited this story on many occasions since and it is still a firm favourite of mine.
I love the sweet and innocent aspect of the book portrayed through Beauty's character and her love for rabbits, painting and drawing and spending time with her mum. I also love the darker side to this story that explores such an important topic: growing up in a domestically abusive family environment. Jacqueline Wilson is fantastic at approaching subjects other authors wouldn't, especially in children's books, but it is so important for children to see themselves in books, to know they aren't alone and to learn about situations other people could be going through, bad or good. I would and have recommended this story to people for those reasons.
Cookie will always be a story I go back to over and over again.
