Lola Rose Award-winning author by Jacqueline Wilson (author) (UK edition)

Author/Illustrator

Jacqueline Wilson

Jacqueline Wilson was born in Bath in 1945, but spent most of her childhood in Kingston-on-Thames. She always wanted to be a writer and wrote her first “novel” when she was nine, filling countless Woolworths’ exercise books as she grew up. Since having her daughter, Emma, she has been writing full time.

Her insightful and emotionally challenging books not only stretch reading ability, but give young readers a glimpse into many kinds of lives. Smart girls, strong girls, bad girls, brave girls. Girls keeping their families going, girls trying to get away… Jacqueline Wilson’s written about them all! These powerful stories of plucky girls in difficult circumstances won’t fail to strike a chord.

She has written over 70 best-selling books, and several have even been adapted for TV – most famously The Story of Tracy Beaker. Her signing sessions attract huge crowds of fans and last for hours! Over 25 million copies of her books have now been sold in the UK alone.

In 2007 Jacky Daydream was published, an inspirational true story of how a shy schoolgirl became a superstar author. This was followed by My Secret Diary, a captivating account of Jacky’s teenage years.

In June 2002 Jacqueline was given an OBE for services to literacy in schools, and she was the Children’s Laureate from 2005-2007. She also became a Dame in December 2007.

    Jayni is living in some council flats, they are always strapped for cash until one day Jayni’s mum Nikki wins £10,000 on the lottery. Jayni, Nikki and little brother Kenny have to run away when her dad becomes violent and lashes out at them. I found this book very good. Sometimes scary and sometimes joyful, you never know what is going to happen next.

    You may think Lola Rose is just another book about family problems and love and kisses, but once you read the first couple of chapters you get what this book is really about. I do like this book, even though in some parts the plot could become quite boring and predictable. It’s not my favourite Jacqueline Wilson book, but overall it’s a great book, touching, action-packed and beautifully written. Lola Rose (or Jayni) is one of my favourite characters in the book, as she is so brave and creative, with her fab scrapbook.

    I’m still reading it but so far its good….. Its about a girl called Jayni who has a farther (JAY). Her dad hits and punches her mum(NIKKI). When he hits Jayni fotr the first time they fled with her brother Kenny to london while he was out drinking. They change their names…..Jayni becomes Lola rose, Nkki becomes Victoria and Kenny becomes Kendal. I reccomend it for older children atleast over 9. Her mum gets a lump and goes to hospital so Jayni has to act more grown up than she is….,..Its a amazing book but i I dont think its reccomendeed for small children…...

    This is a truly brilliant read for older children as it touches on some rather upsetting but true subjects. Lola is telling the story from her point of view and it gives it a really good and true view of the whole situation. It is definitely a tear jerker but it does have some really happy and exiting moments! I would definitely recommend this book to any Jackie readers aged about 10+
