Product description
The brilliant new book from bestselling author Jacqueline Wilson!
It’s 1953, and Elizabeth is about to be crowned Queen of England. Elsie Kettle can’t wait to go to London to see the celebrations on Coronation Day. But tragedy strikes when both Elsie and her Nan fall ill with tuberculosis, and Elsie is whisked away to the grim children’s ward of the local hospital. Confined to bed for months on end, Elsie finds it very hard to adapt to the hospital’s strict regime. But as this imaginative and spirited girl invents exciting ways to entertain the other children on the ward, she finds herself surrounded by true friends for the first time in her life – including Queenie, the majestic white hospital cat. Finally, Elsie is well enough to leave hospital. But before she does, she has one very special, very unexpected visitor…

on 11 May 2013I thought this books was absouloutley amazing. Jaqueline Wilson was clever because she wrote it about the Cornation back in 1953 and at the end she wrote about 2013.
I thought it was better than Hetty Feather.
Definatley read it.
Get your hands on it!

on 4 March 2013I was a bit apprehensive about reading this. I hadn’t heard anything about this book before, and I didn’t even know what it was about. However, I decided to give it a try as I used to enjoy Jacqueline Wilson’s books a lot when I was younger.
The main protagonist is a young girl named Elsie. She doesn’t see her mum very much, and lives with her Nan who she adores. But suddenly her Nan gets seriously ill, and that’s when things start to go very, very bad.
Elsie was very sweet, kind and caring but at times she was very naive and seemed a bit clueless about…well, everything. Maybe I just found that a bit annoying because of our age gap, I don’t know. However, she was entertaining to read about, especially when she got up to mischief in the hospital.
The story revolved around a very sad topic, but the author managed to keep it lighthearted in most places so it’s perfect for her younger readers, whilst still being informative and exciting for her older readers. It took me a while to get into the story, but after that I couldn’t put it down (which is why I was awake until 3am…).
This is a great book for girls aged 9+, although it is quite long (400 pages or so.) I give it a rating of 4/5. Definitely a good book for current/previous fans of Jacqueline Wilson.

on 3 March 2013Great book. Jacky does it again. Explains TB soo well, and what effects it can have on families. This book should’ve come out during the Jubilee, would’ve been a perfect fit
