Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Fortunately for Jacqueline Wilson fans, her new books seem to come along a lot more regularly than JK Rowling's do, and for this latest, fantastic bittersweet slice of life offering they should again be grateful. Lola Rose is typical Wilson--a story of normal family strife, situations and feelings bound together with extraordinarily uplifting solutions that leave the reader with a tear in their eye and a smile on their lips.

Lola Rose is definitely one for her older readers, however. Jayni, her mum and little brother Kenny are forced to flee their family home when Jayni's dad starts hitting her too--as if it wasn't enough that he battered his wife about already. A desperate flight to London is made bearable when Jayni's mum wins £10,000 on a lottery scratch card and treats everybody to whatever they want. It's a chance to start again and have an adventure--and to forget. They even get to pick new names so that they can hide better. Jayni picks out "Lola Rose"--an exotic-sounding name she finds in one of the magazines she is so fond of cutting up and pasting into her scrapbooks.

But the lottery money doesn't last forever and Lola's mum finds it harder than she thought being away from her husband. However, it's definitely the start of something better for everyone despite a few hiccups along the way.

Jacqueline Wilson is a mega-star among children's authors. Her books are consistently unputdownable and Lola Rose exemplifies her skill at stirring the emotions in an unforgettable story that is sure to win her even more accolades. (Age 12 and over) --John McLay --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.



Product Description

When Jayni, her mum and little brother have to run away from her abusive father, it starts off as a big adventure. They slip out at night, go up to London by train and stay in a hotel. They even make up false identities to protect their secret and Jayni becomes the glamorous-sounding Lola Rose. But when the money runs out and reality bites, is it still a game they should play?

5.0 out of 5 stars For OLDER JW readers (estimated 12 yr+) - FIRST CLASS!, 30 Sep 2005
By ABCeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Lola Rose (Audio CD)
Expertly read by Helen Lederer, the overall running time for this superb JW package is over 6 hours!

'A new story for older readers (recommended 12 yrs+) - a wonderfully moving tale of family life as it sometimes really is - from multi-award winner Jacqueline Wilson.'
'When life at home suddenly gets really frightening, Jayni, her Mum and her little brother, Kenny, have to pack their bags and escape in the middle of the night. Although they are scared of being caught, travelling to London and staying in a hotel does seem like it might be a big adventure - at first.

They even get to choose new names - and so Jayni becomes the glamorous, grown up 'Lola Rose'!

But Lola Rose's new life isn't quite as wonderful as her new name. She doesn't likes Mum's new job, or Mum's new boyfriend, and she is not sure about the boys at school either. And when Mum has to go into hospital, Lola is forced to be much more grown up than she really feels.'

Excellent price at Amazon!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for all Jacqueline Wilson fans, 8 April 2003
By Mrs. D. Price "Littledeb" (Tamworth, Staffs) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Lola Rose (Hardcover)
I am a 34 year old mother and this is the third Jacqueline Wilson book I have read. I literally couldn't put it down - it was fantastic. The book deals with fairly grown up issues such as domestic violence and serious illness so many parents of JW fans may feel that it is not suitable for the very young. Without giving too much away the heroine of the book Lola Rose and her mother and brother run away from home to escape her abusive father. As they settle into a new life in London there is a definite role reversal as Lola appears to become the mother as she is left to care for her brother while her mother goes out to work. There is a lot more that happens in this story and in parts I had trouble holding back the tears, but I don't want to spoil it for the rest of the JW fans. Its a definite must read and I highly recommend it.
