a poetic re-telling of the myths by Rosemary Sutcliff

Optimism and despair come in equal parts in Wilson's child-centred contemporary dramas

I loved this book. It is honest and sensitive and a really quick read - that's because you'll need to keep turning the pages to find out what happens to Lola Rose, and Kendall, and her mum . . . highly recommended

A truly great read!

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.
