Jacqueline Wilson- The suitcase KidAs a young teenager I had the whole Jacqueline Wilson book series! The suitcase Kid was my favourite by far! What spoke to me throughout reading this story again, was that it is written through the eyes of a child going through the realities of having two homes, when their parents separate and divorce from each other. I felt if I was a child reading this and was going through this in real life this would have been very comforting for me to know that I wasnt theIt was a sad and happy book about a girl with divorced parents. (I will keep it)
The Suitcase Kid is a story about a girl named Andy, aged 11; her parents are separating but both Mum and Dad want Andy to live with them when all Andy wants is to live back in mulberry cottage with the whole family including Radish, Andys toy Sylvanian rabbit. Andy decides to live one week in house A with mum and Bills 3 children and one week in house B with Dad, Carrie and her twins. Andy has been thrown into new homes, step-parents, step-brothers and sisters, her school work is suffering, she
I think this is the Jacqueline Wilson book I've read the most. It actually may have been the first one I bought, though I'm not 100% sure on that. It's always held up well to my constant rereading!I think this probably resonates with anyone whose parents are divorced, especially those who felt/feel rather caught in the middle. The way Andy's parents use her as this go between to make digs at each other will be sadly familiar to many, as well as Andy feeling like she doesn't have a real home
A heartbreaking story of a little girl trying to get her own life together in the world of her divorced parents and their new set of children. Sometimes things are sad, nobody needs you and then you do stupid stuff just to get some attention... So sad that she has to cling to her little toy rabbit for solace... What's a little girl to do? In the end she does what all of us do when faced with an impossible situation, Compromise.
I read this book as a child in year 5 and a few times since then. I remember my whole class fell in love with this book. One thing I liked about it was that it allows children, who may have parents who no longer live together, to identify with the main character Andrea. It could be used by those children as a sort of coping strategy should they have a hard time dealing with such things at home, after all things seem to work out for Andrea in the end. It's a great story about how Andrea deals
