I was looking forward to the release of this book being a sister myself, but was dissapointed. I am a big JW fan, but this isn't one of her better books. It was imaginative but quite childish and VERY short, and seeing as I paid £6.99 for it (purchased at ASDA) I was not impressed. I read it in ONE AND A HALF HOURS!
However, this would only be a 2 star review if it hadn't been for Nick Sharrat's illustrations which enchanced each page, but if the best part of the story is the pictures, then you are in trouble.
I am hoping that 'Emerald Star' will prove Jacky hasn't lost her touch, and will be a much better read.
