Advantages: realistic, mildly enjoyable Disadvantages: predictable, dramatic event too sudden and unresolved
This is the first JacquelineWilson book I have tried reading (as part of shadowing the ?Berkshire Book Award? and I have to admit that it was better than I?d anticipated. Wilson is famous for writing amazingly popular stories for young children, around 10-13, and has been honoured with many of the UK?s top awards for children?s books. She was also the Children?s Laureate for 2005-7 and was awarded an OBE in 2002. Obviously I was aware of her popularity, but I was convinced that her books were over-hyped, dull and simplistic. (These are the same reasons why I have never read any of the Harry Potter books.)
?My Sister Jodie? tells the story of two very different sisters: Pearl is shy/reserved and her sister Jodie is much more confident with a flair for getting in to trouble. The story is told from Pearl?s perspective, but Jodie ...
Advantages: Great reading for all the family of all ages Disadvantages: NA

Advantages: It sends you a message to say to appreciate life, especially with siblings like Pearl and Jodie. Disadvantages: People are used to Jacqueline Wilson's books having a happy ending, so they may dislike the book.
child sibling myself, and honestly, it really hurt. I felt sorry, because I know that I have a sister whom I love and I wouldn't want anything like that to happen to her, and at one point, I was cared that my family would hear me crying.
In my point of view, it was so upsetting in feeling the pain of a younger sibling, and towards the end, how she really expressed her emotions, which made me all emotional as mentioned.
I wasn't used to JacquelineWilson's books being so different with such a sad ending and it shocked me a bit.
A message: Appreciate your family, especially if you have siblings, especially older siblings, and you need to realise how much you should love your family as life is so short. It's hard to read, especially towards the end, but it is a good emotional book if it is your kind of thing. ...
