Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Jacqueline Wilson's The Bed and Breakfast Star is read here in unabridged form by Josie Lawrence. Wilson is in fine form in this funny and moving story of a little girl who copes with her none-too-glamorous life by telling endless jokes and fantasising about being a comedian. As things go from bad to worse and Elsa and her family find themselves homeless, they have to move into the very un-regal Royal Hotel. But when disaster strikes at the hotel, Elsa gets her chance to be a real star.
Jacqueline Wilson lets the reader eavesdrop on Elsa's life, encouraging an intelligent understanding of her situation but never once suggesting that there might be a magic solution. Instead of letting pity in on the act, Wilson treats us to a realistic and sobering yet smart and entertaining story of a child doing the best she can in an unforgiving world where things are never really as they should be. The story is presented on three cassettes. --Susan Harrison --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Bed and Breakfast Star (Paperback)
I am nine and a half so you may not find this very helpful.Anyway I found it quite good.It is about a girl called Elsa who loves to tell jokes but ever since she got a new dad nobody laughs anymore.It is a bit upsetting with lots of hitting and smacking and there is a few mild words.But it is a fun book.I have read lots of JW books and there great ,but this isn't her best book but it is good.
I reccommend this from 8-12

Great book!!!,
By Mehajabeen Farid "mej_farid" (Coventry) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bed and Breakfast Star (Paperback)
Characters:
Elsa, Pippa (her step sister), Hank (her step baby brother), Mack (her step dad), Mum and Naomi are the main characters but people like the manager of the hotel and other guests at the hotel are side characters. The other characters are the TV crew. Plot: Elsa and her family get so poor that they have to stay at a special hotel which is called the Royal Hotel but isn't very posh at all. One day a TV crew come to film some of the children for a charity show about poor children and their families. Elsa is very talkative and the cast get tired of her so they ask her about her friends. She goes and gets her best friend, Naomi, to be interview but Naomi's family won't talk to Elsa because they are told to leave the hotel all as the interview made the hotel sound bad (even though it was terrible) at the end Elsa becomes a hero. Favourite part: I think it was funny when she tells jokes to some people who like them and become her friend. Worst Part: I think the worst part is when Elsa starts writing jokes all over the lavatory walls about her step dad and doesn't own up to the owner of the hotel. For: This book is for 9 - 12 year olds because it might upset little children with the smacking and hitting and some of the words are quite mild.

A young yet avid readers thoughs,
This review is from: The Bed And Breakfast Star (Kindle Edition)
This book is unbelievable! Not in a good way. Name me one person that actually has had that happened to them! But, I know, its fiction so, as a fiction book, congrats! Believable wise, not so good!
