Review of Lola Rose - Jacqueline Wilson

This book Lola Rose was brought out last year by Jacqueline Wilson a famous award winning author. This book isnt part of a series and can be bought from most book shops and some supermarket for £10.99 ($24.95) or less. I dont want to give to much of the story away but I will tell you a bit about the characters and the story line. I would suggest that this book would be readable for the ages 11 and above due to the story line. The main characters ...
...there names and Jayni becomes Lola Rose, Nikki becomes Victoria and Kenny bcomes kendall. There life isnt going to be as good as they expect when there money starts to run out.

Review of Lola Rose - Jacqueline Wilson

...the opportunity to get creative. Lola Rose is her new name! But her life isn't as glamourous as her name. She doesn't like several of the decisions her mother makes and when she finds out about her mother, decides to take matters into her own hands.... I borrowed this off my mate because I prefer not to buy books because they can be really expensive. Jacqueline Wilson is one of my favourite authors and Nick Sharrat is my favourite illustrator so ...
...bit about each character Lola Rose/Jayni Lola Rose is very responsible for she is the most sensible one who sees the reality of everything and can get very worried. Nikki/Victoria Silly and flirtatious and quite a push over too since she let Jay abuse her like that and she still takes him back! Kenny Since he is quite young, he doesn't understand what's happening quite a lot of the time and he doesn't worry but throws tantrums alot. Jay Violent ...

Review of Lola Rose - Jacqueline Wilson

This real rollercoaster of a journey and emotions makes this book one of the best of the Wilson bunch. A combination of imaginative dreams and realistic life situations is what this whole book is about. Jayni and her mum think they are going to live the life of luxery after running away from their agressive dad, her handbag stuffed with fivers. What they dont realised is how quickly everything can turn the other way and their luck and money can run ...
...or later, they try to escape this by changing their names and spoiling eachother rotten..... the negative end of the stick kicks in at this point and things go terribly wrong. Jacqueline Wilson pushes the boat out with this book, she writes about real life problems and adds in a touch of imagination to create this amazing book. This book leaves everybody with a tear in their eye, but a feeling of triumph after they escape their violant dad. All in ...

Review of Lola Rose - Jacqueline Wilson

Jacqueline is my favorite author and I have read all of her books so far. This is my favorite book with its catchy story line and wonderful characters. I found this book different to the others because it seemed to be more to do with real life and doesn't seem so 'make believe'. This is a book that will keep you entertained from start to end. I read this book in a matter of hours because I didn't want to put it down once I started it. It fits ages ...
...book but for the age it is created for it is a good length and you don't miss out on any detail. Every Character is detailed excellently giving you an 'in mind' picture of them. This is the kind of story you can create all the pictures in your mind with the detail given. Making you feel like you are apart of the story. The book is about a family trauma on a mother and her kids and having to run away and start a new identity after being wrongly treated ...
