Hello everybody,
Today I'll review Favorite Blast #7, The Suitcase Kid by Jacqueline Wilson. I really love it!
'When my parents split up, they didn't know what to do with me...'
Andy's parents are splitting up. The worst thing is that she has to choose between them! "It's as easy as ABC," they say. But it isn't. Andy doesn't know who to choose. She wants both of her parents, but nobody understands. She wants to go back to her home, Mulberry Cottage. She wants things to stay as they always were. But everything's changing.
So, Andy lives one week with her dad and one week with her mother. She hates her mother's new family, especially Katie and Baboon Bill, although Graham's okay and Paula simply doesn't talk to her. Her dad's new family is okay, with Carrie and the twins. But things aren't easy when you're a suitcase kid and have no place to live.
Things are definitely not easy at school. Andy's grades are dropping and her best friend Aileen has drifted away from miserable Andy and has made friends with Fiona. Her only friend is Radish, her Sylvanian Families rabbit.
But this all changes when she meets Mr. and Mrs. Peters, a kind elderly couple who let Andy into their garden. Perhaps things will look up...
Will Andy's parents get back together? Or will she have to accept this new way of life?
I love this book and I recommend it to ages 7 and above, and this was my first Jacqueline Wilson book.
It's an excellent book and I love the way the story is built up. The characters can be easily related to.
This book is definitely five stars!
