From Springston School
My Sister Jodie
By Jacqueline Wilson
How easy was it to get stuck into this book?
Very easy. Unless you’ve read one of Jacqueline’s books you have no idea how great she is, she just has a magic yet life like theme to all her books. Anyway this book is great. Every word gives you thrills of what’s going to happen next and you can never predict what’s going to happen. Also when you read about Pearl, Jodie and Harley's adventures in and around the school, you feel like you're there with them getting into trouble and exploring new places. That’s why I love this book.
Who are the main characters?
The main characters are Pearl, Jodie and Harley. Pearl is a very kind girl and doesn’t adapt very well to change. Jodie, on the other hand, is confident and willing to do anything, also she’s a very good spooky story teller and manages to scare Pearl constantly. Harley thinks Pearl is great and they both like each other (or so it seems).
What’s the story-line?
The story-line is about a young girl called Pearl who, with her sister, mum and dad, move house and schools. As her parents adapt well to the school as the caretakers and Jodie makes friends with the teachers, Pearl finds it uncomfortable, until she meets Harley. Harley is a kind, sweet boy and Pearl thinks the world of him, but as the semester starts they end up getting in a bit of trouble with Jodie. Also this book has no happy ending, in fact it’s probably the saddest ending I’ve read about and I wish I could tell you it, but you’ll have to read the book yourself.
How it’s written!!!
This book is quite intense because of the thrills and anticipation it gives you, but it’s definitely something I would recommend to anyone older than 9 because it's more of an older book.
Other books by the same author that I know!!!
Candyfloss
Double Act
Clean Break
Lola Rose
Secrets
And many more
My Rating!!!
I’m giving this book a 4/5 because it’s a great book. It gives you thrills all round and there’s nothing else much to say but that it’s a great book.

You are our 'Champion Book Reviewer' Courtney and you obviously enjoy books by Jacquiline Wilson! Keep up the excellent work. I will have to show the rest of the class this style of book review and get them to write one too! Mrs Taylor
ReplyDeleteThis is a great review, Courtney! I have actually emailed the Cool-Reads web site to see if they're still accepting book reviews (though I suspect they aren't) in the hope your review could be submitted to them. But, you might also like to take a look at http://www.shelfari.com/ and join there and write reviews. It's a great place to keep a record of the books you've read, too. You might also like to look at the Christchurch City Library's Book Buzz book review area (http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Kids/BookBuzz/); you might be able to paste your review into their 'Why I like this book' section. Keep up the great work!
