In my opinion, I feel as if the book "My Sister Jodie" is a different emotional feeling from other age groups.

For example, I am 14, and a younger sister, with a 17 year old older sister, so it's the same age gap. I really think that this book lets off different feelings, for example, I am reading it from a younger sister's point of view (as in Pearl's feelings) and it was hard for me at the end because I was sat there crying (luckily I was by myself) and thinking how lucky I am that I have a sister who is still alive and is more likely to get a longer life.

I feel as if it is a chance to appreciate life more, seeing as Pearl's character was going through so much, especially towards the end, and many of us don't get that feeling in real life about their older sibling at the end. I then somehow felt Pearl's feelings as a younger 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 Jacqueline Wilson'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.
