More About the Author
Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Children’s Laureate has done it again. Jacqueline Wilson’s latest story is a winning combination of realistic characters, entertaining drama and moving encounters. Candlyfloss effortlessly draws its young readers into its pages from the beginning, immediately making connections with a readership that idolises the author’s every literary effort.
Floss lives with her mum and her mum’s new husband--the super ambitious Steve--and her half-brother Tiger. When Steve drops the bombshell that he has been asked to go and work in Sydney, and that they’re all moving to Australia for six months, Floss cannot believe it. She’s excited about the prospect of a trip of a lifetime but what about her dad? He may only be the less well-off and unsuccessful owner of a down-at-heel greasy spoon café, but she is all he has got in the world to look forward to. He lives for her weekly visits and the chance to feed her chip butties without her mum finding out.
Floss soon finds herself in an impossible situation. If she chooses to stay behind, everything will be different. She may be able to stay close to her not-all-that-she-seems best friend Rhiannon and get to live with the best dad in the world full-time, but is it the right decision to make in the long run?
As an ambassador demonstrating the robust health of the nation’s storytelling talent, one needs look no further than Jacqueline Wilson. Her popularity is well earned, and seemingly repeated and confirmed with each new volume in her library. Her novels have a ring of the familiar; characters that seem like they live just next door, speaking dialogue that is so true-to-life it makes you wonder how old the lady behind the words really is. Wilson’s bestselling novels, totalling over twenty million and counting, are undoubtedly the modern classics of the future.

This is a great book. My nine year old daughter read it to me and it was so good that she could not stop reading it! She has read many books but she says this has to be one of the best Jacqueliene Wilson books ever. It is not that funny but it is dead interesting. It is about a girl named Floss. Her mum has a boy freind who gets a job in Australia and they are planning to go there for a few months. Floss doesnt want to leave her dad or best friend so what will she do? She really liked the part when Floss stood up for her self but the whole book is very good
indeed.

This book is absolutely brilliant, i must have read it at least 10 times! It is one of Jacqueline Wilson's best books and i would recommend it to anyone. It is about a girl called Flora (everyone nicknames her Floss) and her mum broke up with her dad, and her mum now is living with her new boyfriend Steve and their baby son. Steve gets promoted in his job to Australia. Floss wants to go, but wants to stay with her poor dad who lives in a cafe with hardly any customers so he is in danger of being shut down. It is not all sad though! The rest is brilliant and i love reading it!

If you like books by Jacqueline Wilson you should love Candyfloss. It is a book with excitment and a girl with a big
decision ahead of her.
Rhiannon can be a mean person, but Flossie is her best friend. Her dad misses her mum at times because of the divorce- However I won't give more of the plot away.
Mum's new husband Steve has earned a great opportunity! Should Flossie go or stay with dad and the fair or should she go with mum, Steve and her step brother Tiger? That is her dilemma!
The author's style is superb!She really describes how various characters feel and in different locations.
I would recommend it to a lot of people who like the author's excellent books and her style!
