Name: Lola Rose
Auther: Jacqueline Wilson (Yes another Jacqueline book!)
Blurb: When life at home suddenly gets really frightning, Jayni, her mum and her little brother Kenny have to pack their bags and escape in the middle of the night. They also have to choose new names - and so jayni becomes the glamorous, grown up Lola Rose!
But Lola Rose's life isn't quite as wonderful as her new name. And when mum has to go into hospital, Lola Rose is forced to be much more grown up than she really feels.
Reccomendation: I Loved this book as much as I did with Midnight. And look at that, same auther! This book would be for the ages of about... 8 - 16! But probably ofr the older ones.
For the parents, the main gist of it is that there is a normal family, but the dad has a problem and is always hitting the mum. One night he hits the daughter as well as the mother, so they run away. They try and have a new life, but because the dad hit the mother, she got breast cancer. And I know it sounds really depressing, but it is really a good book!
I woudl rate this ****1/2 stars! I love it!
