Buried Alive!

Tim can't wait to go on holiday - especially as he gets to bring his friend Biscuits along. But their trip unexpectedly becomes truly, terribly adventurous when an encounter with two local bully-boys threatens to disrupt the fun.

Narrated by Tim and interspersed with revealing, illustrated extracts from Tim and Biscuits's holiday diaries, this is a wondefully enjoyable story from one of the most popular writers around that both girls and boys will love.

Reviews

Hilarious

—— Times

Clear as crystal and genuinely funny, this story is enriched by Wilson's perceptive description of the adults in the background, battling through their holiday

—— Mail on Sunday

Readers over 10 will be gripped by Jacqueline Wilson's unerring insight into their concerns, and entertained by her unpretentious, light touch

—— Daily Telegraph

Jacqueline Wilson is one author who can always be relied upon to produce quality work

—— Bookseller

Exciting and funny

—— Derby Evening Telegraph

Really funny, silly but sad

—— Newcastle Upon Tyne Evening Chronicle

The Story of Tracy Beaker was well received and shortlisted for the Smarties Prize; her new novel, The Suitcase Kid is, I think, even better . . . Jacqueline Wilson finds humour in this very poignant situation, and her storytelling is stylish

—— The Bookseller

A very sensitive account of what could very well happen in a similar family situation

—— Junior Bookshelf

To portray divorce with humour and sympathy takes great skill and Jacquline Wilson demonstrates she has this in abundance with this delightful book. . . . A wonderful, moving, yet funny book - a special read

—— Books for Your Children

Honest, angry, sometimes sad and always very readable . . . Adults could learn something here about the emotional turmoil suffered by a child with divided loyalties
