Funny and very moving

An unsentimental and truthful book that is even better for a strong sense of mischief

The chatty style draws young readers straight into the story, and the constant stream of corny jokes masks, but does not conceal, the deeper issues

This is an hilarious and at the same time exceptionally emotional story

The fact that it doesn't end in a fairy tale happy ever after makes it more realistic because life isn't like that!

Brilliant . . . Touching

Utterly memorable . . . Jacqueline Wilson has a beautifully light touch for such difficult subjects

Jacqueline Wilson writes the kind of books you just can't put down, making you feel so many emotions that you don't know whether to laugh or cry . . . a must-read for teenagers

Chosen by a reader as her favourite book

Moving and intense story involving domestic violence and breast cancer but which manages to be uplifting about both.

Yet another brilliant book that you never want to put down.
