Video Rose was written by Jacqueline Wilson (one of my favourite
authors) and was published in 1992 by Penguin publishers.
Janet Robertson (who draws a lot for many different
authors)
illustrated it skilfully and it was illustrated very neatly. This book is great for children who are over the age of 7 or 8 up to the age of 14 or 15 because adults are far too boring to read such a good and exciting book like this one. I think girls would like this book better than boys would but I might be wrong. The plot is Rose adores the video player and she dreads the day that it breaks down. Fortunately, a strange man fixes it for only one pound but also he also her the power to fast-forward and rewind her own life, which changes nearly everything. Rating: 6/ 10.
