Product Information

LIKE. DO YOU KNOW HOW BIG THIS IS. ESPECIALLY AT THIS POINT. I mean, of course it's sad, but its gotta be done. Maybe one could say that this is a darker version of Double Act. Pearl Wells- The narrator and main character of the book. Her sisters are May and Jodie and Sharon and Joe are her parents and she loves to read. She is the good, shy, quiet sister, and looks up to Jodie. I learnt that from this book, there were many things but one is that no matter like where you go, (example: change houses/schools) its always important to keep your best friends/loved ones close because you never know something could happen to them. Pearl and her parents are devastated. Newspapers claim Jodie committed suicide. They leave Melchester College to live in a flat in London, because they say that they would not be able to face Melchester College ever again. Before they move, Sharon reveals she is having a baby, meaning the pregnancy test was hers. Pearl is not keen at first but soon grows to love her new sister May, even using the book that Mrs Wilberforce gave her to write about the story of her and Jodie, so that May can read it when she is older. At the conclusion of the book, Pearl states that while she will be a good big sister to May, she'll never be as good as Jodie was to her.

My Sister Jodie - Wikipedia

I had never heard of Jacqueline Wilson before, but I was reading The Girls in the Garden by Lisa Jewell, and a character in that book was complaining about the books she was made to read in school -- and she said they should be reading Jacqueline Wilson books because they're a true representation of kids. Anyway, that's how I discovered her. And I'm glad I did! I really enjoyed this book because, its about a relationship between sisters and I have a sister so i can actually relate to the book and understand like if the girls were real people, because I have experienced most of the things they experience. Video caption: CCTV of Jodie Chesney walking with friends in Harold Hill CCTV of Jodie Chesney walking with friends in Harold Hill Harley - A tall friend of Pearl's and is in the same class as Jodie. Harley is 13. He boards over the Summer holidays and watches badgers, and though Jed wants to kill them Harley is against that. He gives Pearl a torch for her birthday so they can meet and watch badgers together at night. It is hinted he may have a crush on Pearl as he says that she is the prettiest girl in the whole school and at one one point, the two hold hands. Harley says that while he likes Jodie 'in small doses' he likes Pearl a lot more. He and Pearl keep in touch after Jodie's death. They lived the investigation with us. They want answers to questions I can't give them. Why did this happen? I cannot give them a satisfactory answer because I don't know myself.Dannijo designer Danielle Snyder on holiday in Tulum, Mexico, photographed for Vogue Arabia. Courtesy of Dannijo Okay. Stepping off my soap box… And onto another soap box! I do not like the treatment of disability in this book, no siree. How about let’s not speculate about why someone is a wheelchair user. Let’s not pity them or assume their life is a void. Let’s not say that it would be better if they’d died rather than become disabled. See above for why I think it’s fine to include such rhetoric in books generally, since people say such things in real life, but in children’s books when there is no counter argument, it’s kind of saying, “Hey, so this is how we talk about disabled people”. It was an "ordinary" Friday night for the group of friends, until Jodie's boyfriend Eddie Coyle, 18, noticed two figures coming towards them in the darkness. When term starts, Pearl makes friends with a group of girls: Harriet, Sheba, Freya and Clarissa. She enjoys her lessons and for once in her life, is not bullied. Pearl also continues to do well in her schoolwork. Jodie, however, has a difficult time. The other boys and girls in her year call her a "tart" and make her life miserable. When she goes off into the woods with two boys, her reputation gets even worse, although she tells Pearl she did not do anything with them. Furthermore, Jed the gardener is being romantically pursued by some other girls in Jodie's year. I enjoyed this book. The book is about two sisters called Pearl and Jodie.Pearl is younger and shy while Jodie is older and brave. When they move and the girls go to Melchester College Jodie plans to play a prank at the school Fireworks event but slips off a tower and dies. Pearl’s parents then tell her that she will have a baby sister in May.

Emergency workers and witnesses to the Buncrana pier tragedy continue to struggle to come to terms with the disaster five years after the drowning, some of those present on the night have revealed. I don't even know why I borrowed this book from the library, but surprisingly I really liked it. I even cried at the end (okay I admit that I do cry a lot but this was a really sweet story). The court had heard how Ong-a-Kwie had been knifed in the thigh six months before and was on the lookout for his assailants on the day of the murder.
