Product description
“Where do baby apes sleep? In apricots! I’m Elsa, and that’s one of my jokes…”
Elsa loves to tell jokes and clown about, but no-one seems to laugh much any more – not since her family lost their lovely house, and ended up stuck in a dingy bed and breakfast hotel. Even in the horrible and very un-royal Royal Hotel, Elsa keeps busy cracking jokes and getting the other guests chuckling. But as things go from bad to worse, even Elsa finds it hard to keep smiling – until disaster strikes and she gets the chance to be a real star at last! Funny and touching, warm and wise, Elsa’s story explores the modern face of homelessness.

on 26 February 2015I think Elsa is one of the cheeriest, kindest kids I’ve ever read about. She has a such tough time too. Her mom is sooo depressed since they moved into some gross bed & brreakfast dump and her stepdad is a bit of a scary nightmare. She tries cheering people up by telling these awfully corny jokes, but I LOVED THE JOKES!

on 5 March 2014Elsa lived with her mum in a flat. Then her mum got married to Mack. Elsa has a step sister called Pippa and a step brotheer called Hank. Mack got a good job so they bought a new house. Then Mack lost his job so they got kicked out of their house. So they went to a bed and breakfast hotel. When they got to the hotel and rang the bell no one answered. Elsa found a door that said manager on it and looked in. She saw the manager kissing a ladie and the ladie went as pink as her jumper (which was very pink) Elsa and Pippa made friends with a girl in the toilets. Elsa’s room number was 608.

on 3 March 2012Like all of Jacqueline Wilsons books, I really loved this book. However, there was something different about the bed and breakfast star. Right from the get go, Ireally warmed to Elsa, not because she was hard done by, or because I could relate to her, but because the humour that radiated from her character really made her lovable. And I just loved the ending, it was something really positive. :)

on 15 September 2011“Where do baby apes sleep? In apricots! I’m Elsa, and that’s one of my jokes…”
Elsa loves to tell jokes and clown about, but no one seems to laugh much any more – not since her family lost their lovely house, and ended up stuck in a dingy bed and breakfast hotel. Even in the horrible and very un-royal Royal Hotel, Elsa keeps busy cracking jokes and getting the other guests chuckling. But as things go from bad to worse, even Elsa finds it hard to keep smiling – until disaster strikes and she gets the chance to be a real star at last… Funny and moving, warm and wise, Elsa’s story will touch your heart.
I have read the Bed and Breakfast Star twice. The second time i read it, it seemed even better! I read it in less then a day, non-stop.
My Favourite Part; At the end when she is on TV.
Score Out Of Ten; 9 1/2.
I would recomend it to; Anyone of all ages.
I like this book because its funnny, emotional and a tale about family trouble.
Its about a girl called Elsa. Her mum’s boyfriend can’t find any work and eventually they have to move into a Bed and Breakfast hotel. Its called The Royal Hotel, except its not. When they arrive, the sign says it all ‘T e o a o e’. Elsa manages to have fun, and she meets some new friends including Book-Worm Naomi. She scives’ school, but then realises that she should give it a chance. Elsa can only dream of being a comedian on TV, but when a fire strikes, it is her once in a life chance?...
Thanks for reading my review, i hope i encouraged you to buy the book.

on 3 March 2011I absolutely love the author Jacquline Wilson she is my altime favourite. I started this book 3 days ago and haven’t been able to put it down.The story is about a girl called Elsa who is a funny and lively character, always telling jokes. One day her family lose their home because her step dad loses his job and end up having to go and stay in a bed and breakfast. I like the part where Elsa becomes a heroine saving people when there is a fire in the B&B because the alarms didn’t work. Great book, one that i’ll definately read again.

on 20 February 2010I really enjoyed this terrific book, i have to admit it wasnt my favourite jacqueline Wilson book and i think she has written much better novels. However it was still very enjoyable and in some parts hilariously funny as she was such an excellent character :) x
