Honestly this is the biggest waste of time to read.  I actually enjoyed the beginning to this book but after 1/3 but it quickly started to loses appeal

Not a bad read at all! Very predictable and slow at the start but I enjoyed it. I felt there were parts to this book that were over-scribed but still a decent short story.

Growing up with these books was an escape from reality. It’s so good to reminisce back from childhood and enjoy books that you enjoyed preteen. Books based on real life situations that turn them from negative to positive. Jaqueline Wilson has always been a truly gifted author and I aim to reread all her books that I loved before.

A good read but I found it predictable. Normally Friedas books have so many spins but I worked out the ending halfway through. A good read and still enjoyable
