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 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!!!

This book was about a girl called Charlie,who did a project for school on the Victorians.Then things started to change,and she found that her life was simalar to Lottie's[the girl she made up].It was very funny too.I think it would be good for anyone aged 9-12.

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.
