Unlike her father ,her mother is really kind she doesn’t get mad at her or hits her or even say that she is ugly. Beauty gets called ugly at her school and she doesn’t have any friends although there is a girl called Rhona who likes her but Rhona is a friend of the girl that bullies Beauty (Skye)and Skye will make fun of Rhona if she hangs out with Beauty.
And her father has silly rules like she’s not allowed to get a pet or spill anything on the floor or accidentally brake the mirror.
When Beauty’s birthday comes up her father spoils her. He asks her what she wants and she says that she wants a bunny, of course because she watches a show called Sam and Lilly and she is obsessed with Lilly (the bunny). After that her dad gets very angry because she told him that she wants to get a pet !! So in the morning when its Beauty’s birthday her dad wakes her up with a big horrible beast and it seemed to be a big purple rabbit !! But I’m not going to tell you the whole story you have to read it .

Lola Rose is a great book about two kids- Jayni and Kenny. They are forced to move away from their father. They have to change their names so Jayni becomes the new glamorous Lola Rose!
They find their Auntie Barbara and she helps them. But things change when their mother has to go to hospital.
Lily is eleven years old, and lives with her mum and siblings, Bliss, Baxter and Pixie. One day her mum is invited to Spain for a holiday by her new boyfriend Gordon, and accepts, leaving the four children home alone. Lily tries her best to care for her brother and sisters, feeding them whatever is in the cupboard- in other words, ice cream, biscuits and more ice cream. It isn’t long until someone finds out that they are alone and not at school, and Lily and her siblings have to escape to the park, where they sleep in a hollow tree. At one point they can’t find their tree, and have to eat scraps from a cafe until they find it again. Just when Lily does have things under control, an accident occurs, and soon, everyone knows…
One thing that I didn’t like about this book is the mother. Before she leaves for Spain, she takes the children on a shopping trip, and she uses a credit card that she doesn’t own. And when she does return, she goes to court, and the children think that she hasn’t done anything wrong. I did enjoy the dialogue, and the way that the author makes the characters come alive. My favourite character is Lily, because she is so sensible. What I mean is, she is more sensible than her mum. I think that girls would like this book more, and I give it a 6 out of 10.
My favourite book is Clean Break by Jaqueline Wilson, because the title makes the story sound interesting
It’s a very wonderful book for girls ecspecially girls aged seven to eleven (well thats what the book said).
It’s an amazing life story about 3 girls and 2 boys, how their dad broke up with their mum on Christmas day and then their whole family gets miserable until next christmas when everyone turns their frowns upside down all just because of a little single knock at the door.
Lily Alone is Jacqueline Wilson’s new book and you can get it now from the library. Place a hold on Lily Alone at one of our libraries that are open or online using your library card number and PIN. If you don’t have a PIN, phone us on 941-7923.
This book is about this girl named Violet. She has a brother named Will. Will is adopted, and he only found out lately.
Violet is inspired by Casper Dream because he writes and draws about fairies. She once wrote to Casper Dream and he replied. But when she wrote to him again it said there is no such address. So she wrote to him every day and kept in a silver box hidden in the back of the cupboard.
Violet has no proper friends at all. At the moment she is friends with two bossy know-it-all-Marnie and Terry. But one day at school a new girl named Jasmin joined the school. Can Violet be friends with this new kid?
Sadie’s mum is a Mum-minder. sadie is her assistant. Once her mum catches a cold and everything goes wrong, she’s got to be a mum-minder and stand in as a children minder!
Hot off the press and ready for the Christmas gift giving comes The Longest Whale Song. Ellas life isn’t going so great. She doesn’t like her grumpy step-dad, baby Sam cries all the time and her best friend wants to be friends with Dory. The worst, worst, worst thing of all is that her mum is in hospital in a coma.
Ellas school project on Whales helps Ella discover that Whales sing to each other underwater and lots of other amazing things about them. Could a whale song help them get through to her mum?
This is yet another very readable book by Jacqueline. Ella does alot of growing up in this book and a number of her relationships with people change. She even makes a new friend. The medical stuff about Ellas mum can be quite difficult to read so I’m recommending this for intermediate aged kids 11 to 13.
little darlings is such a good book! stayed up to 10.30 reading it when i went to bed at 8! i not allowed to read at night but i do with my phone or my psp light .its about two girls and this famous rock person.
i dont know what to say about it you have to read it!
Are your favourite authors Jacqueline Wilson, Cathy Cassidy and Louise Rennison? You should vote in this year’s Queen of Teen Awards. The Queen of Teen award was founded in 2008 to celebrate the fantastic teen and tween authors who bring so much enjoyment to their readers, dealing with real-life issues in a way that is honest, entertaining and fun. This year the shortlisted authors are:
My favourite author is Jacqueline Wilson because she writes fascinating books with beautiful, characters. She also is a nice person I’ve heard but most of all I like the fact that you can get stuck into her stories [and that shes got lots of them!]
“ Persist in your dreams. “My mum and dad didn’t believe I could make a living out of being a writer. But I kept on trying,” said Jacqueline.
Don’t be scared to use your imagination.
When creating a character it is all about getting that character to do what will make sense and show what kind of person they are. That means much more than the name you give them.”
