Review: Another of Jacqueline's masterpieces - I found the illustrated mum a really gripping story because it's one of those books where it only just stretches reality making it seem realistic. I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 8. It could make a good bed time story for those budding book worms but I would say you enjoy it more if you're a bit older. I'm 11 and I enjoyed it so any age around there is perfect for this book. It is quite sad in places, hilarious in others and is exciting on every page. I would say it's more of a girl's book because it's done from a little girls point or view and is about her mum and sister and playing happy family's so it's only for the girls really. I hope this review has inspired people to read this book, it's defiantly worth a try even if it doesn't sound like your thing!!
Review: re read as an adult - I connected with this book as a child but as an adult I sobbed my way through it. Relatable, powerful and emotive. I hope Dolphin and Star and Marigold managed to see some happiness....bring on the sequel.
