Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Eve Karpf reads veteran children's author Jacqueline Wilson's The Lottie Project in this unabridged three-cassette pack. This is the story of Charlie, a bright and happy young girl on the brink of change, told with a brilliant combination of comedy, poignancy and a touch of history.
For her Victorian history project, Charlie hits upon the idea of writing the diary of Lottie, a young Victorian serving girl. When her mother, Jo, loses her job as a shop manageress and starts work as a cleaner, Charlie's previously happy and comfortable lifestyle is threatened and she finds that her own hardships and struggles are not so different from Lottie's.
The Lottie Project is at once entertaining and intelligent. By eloquently capturing Charlie's anxiety as she faces up to her new and uncertain future, Wilson's talent for taking an important topic and treating it with respect and humour as she pushes her characters forward is again harnessed in this touching, human story.
Running time is four hours 40 minutes. --Susan Harrison --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The Lottie Project,
This review is from: The Lottie Project: Complete & Unabridged (Radio Collection) (Audio Cassette)
The Lottie Project is a another fun book by award winning Jacqueline Wilson with more funny illustratings by Nick Sharratt.Charlie (Charlotte) starts a new term at school with a new teacher-Miss Beckworth- and is immediatly annoyed as she has to sit next to a whimpy boy, Jamie Edwards. So when Jo, her teenage Mum, loses her job their lovely flat and lives are in jepordy. Mean while Lottie's(Lottie being Charlies Victorian school project)life is not going well as she has started a new job as a nursury maid, looking after 3 spoilt children, Victor (oldest), Lousia, Freddie (baby). When Jo starts a new cleaning job for weedy Mark and weedy Robin, Charlie gets ultra annoyed especially when Jo falls in love the measley pair, Charlie turns her back on all if them back on all of them and surprisly finds comfort in boring Jamie Edwards and moody Miss Bckworth. During the next few weeks Charlie persuades herself and little Robin that Mark and Jo are going to run off together so Robin does a runna. Mean while little Freddie runs away from Lottie whislt in the park and cannot be found. So together (yet in different time periods) Charlie and Lottie both pray for the lost childrens safety. This book is great, a funny jet touching story which over 8's would enjoy. It is writen in the same, funny way as all Jacqueline Wilsons other succeses. It was a great read so I awarded it 5/5!!!

I FOUND THIS BOOK INTERESTING AND TRUE TO LIFE.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lottie Project (Paperback)
JACQUELINE WILSON IS A VERY MOVING AUTHOR AND I HAVE READ NEARLY ALL OF HER BOOKS.THE LOTTIE PROJECT IS ABOUT AN ELEVEN YEAR OLD GIRL WITH A YOUNG MOTHER. IT DEALS WITH THE PROBLEMS OF PRE-TEEN GIRLS IN AN INTERESTING WAY. IN SOME WAYS I AM ALIKE TO CHARLIE, THE MAIN CHARACTER, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH.
