on 5 March 2014When Emily’s Mum and Dad split up it feels like the end of the world but she doesn’t have time to cry about it. she has to cheer up her little brother and sister, comfort her Mum and bare the spiteful attacks from her Granmother. Will Em’s Dad finally come back? An amazing read, very surprising and unputdownable.

on 23 October 2013Quite sad…....... It was Christmas day and their dad left the day after and it was really sad. It was a little rude sometimes but I think you’ll like it. They saw him quite often but they didn’t see him daily. He took them after school without their mum knowing to a beach far away. They arrived home really late about 9:30 feeling tired. Their mother was furious and told him to get out of her life and said she never wanted to see his face ever again. She announced that they where having a clean break but as time went by she regretted it to her widths. She cried every night hugging his pillow. They had one son Maxie the youngest, the middle child Vita and the oldest Emily. Includes a grumpy grandma as well.

on 16 March 2013This book is truly amazing and one of Jacqueline Wilson’s best books (in my opinion!). She really makes each character have their own personality which is really helpful when you are reading the book because you can imagine yourself being them.
The book is about a girl called Em who’s parents split up, and as she is the oldest sibling it’s her job to pull her family together and make them happy again, as they once were.
I would recommend this book to anyone between the ages for 9-16, enjoy11 x

on 4 March 2013This book faces real life challanges and the book solves the problems like in real life except for the end when the dad comes back ad the mum takes him back I know I wouldn’t if he cheated on me . I relly like the kids and iwas happy when the grandmother begins to date the man from spain.

on 13 August 2011A great read, sad at times though. I really hope her dad and her mum don’t get back together, because I liked her dad at the beginning, but then her left and I thought he wasn’t worth it. I was surprised when he left her!
