| One family's experiences of losing their home and having to move into bed and breakfast accommodation. | | Elsa lives with her mom and step father and half brother and sister. Her step dad can be a bit hard on her at times and doesn't mind giving her the odd smack, but Elsa can put up with that. Things go really horrible when they lose their home and are put into an awful hotel as a bed and breakfast family, while they are waiting to be re-housed by the council. It is dirty, cramped, full of other people who don't want to be there and means that Elsa has to go to a new school. Here even the teachers are quite unkind, because they don't think about what they say in front of the children. Through it all Elsa keeps telling jokes to make everyone laugh, but this often gets her into even more trouble. What does the future hold for her family and for how much longer can she see the funny side of life? | | As with all of her books this is easily read, but covers topics that are of quite a sensitive nature. Always witty and well paced, a reader should have a developing sense of the real world around them. | | Another witty insight into the lives of people around us. Wilson takes a very difficult topic and introduces it to children with humour and tenderness. As always she tells it how it is but offers some kind of hope that things can get better and people can learn from the situations they find themselves in. Her books clearly have a very valuable part to play in children's understanding of the world around them. Read anything she writes. | | Other books by Jacqueline Wilson include Bad Girls, Best Friends, Buried Alive!, Cliffhanger, Connie and the Water Babies, Double Act, Dustbin Baby, Girls in Love, Girls Out Late, Girls Under Pressure, Glubbslyme, How to Survive Summer Camp, Lizzie Zipmouth, Lola Rose, Midnight, My Brother Bernadette, Secrets, Sleepovers, The Cat Mummy, The Dare Game, The Illustrated Mum, The Lottie Project, The Mum-Minder, The Story of Tracy Beaker, The Suitcase Kid, The Werepuppy, Twin Trouble, Vicky Angel. | | This review by Mrs Mad. | | A lively tale by the award-winning author of "The Suitcase Kid".
