Product Description

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 like Mum's new job or Mum's new boyfriend, and she's 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.

Best for older children, this is a wonderfully moving tale of family life as it sometimes really is, from the multi-award-winning Jacqueline Wilson.

For older readers 4 April 2003
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
I opened Lola Rose expecting a story based on domestic abuse, a lot to stomach for any adult, let alone primary school child. Half way through, the plot changed suddenly into a tale of breast cancer and the family fallout resulting from this. Wilson tells these stories well, but I worry about her younger fans getting hold of this book without having the maturity to deal with it. Many parents will buy this book for their young children, unaware of the emotions it may bring with it. This is a book for children to talk about with their families and other adults, not to be read alone.

Format: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.'

Lola Rose is an extremely enjoyable story.
Jayni , Kenny and their mother Nikki run away from their father Jay after being lucky by winning one thousand pounds from the lottery. They spend most of their money on treats and apartments and visits. They also had changes their names, Kenny being Kendall Luck , Nikki being Victoria Luck and Jayni being Lola Rose Luck. With all the money disappearing Victoria has to do her best despite the fact of the `Lump`. As soon as Jake (Victorias boyfriend) notices the `Lump` he demands Victoria to see a doctor. Unfortunately its Cancer and its serious. Fortunately she survives with the the hrlf of the big fat auntie Barbra even when their dad comes back..
will he stay?
is Jayni going to live ab normal life?
