This is a sad book because she is unhappy and cannot have what she wants most. I do not like divorces and I would not like to be in her place. I wish her
parents and all parents really would think harder before they decide to get married in the first
place and have
children because it is very
upsetting for the children if they change their minds and split up!
Some bits are
funny too. Jacqueline Wilson always writes in a funny way and her arguments and quarrels have funny
insults in them.
I did enjoy the book but I do not know why really because it is upsetting. My favourite parts were when she was playing with Radish in the pretend home she made for her by some elderly people called Mr and Mrs Peters.
I would definitely rate this book 10/ 10 and would recommend this book to older children -
maybe 8 or over, because younger ones might find it very upsetting and also some of the insults are a bit rude. It is a lovely book, a classic Wilson, and is now one of my favourites. The Suitcase Kid has won many awards and was a special book for Coventry, where I live, for the end of last year.
If your parents are divorced I guess it might be upsetting but then again maybe it would have some good ideas on how to get along for you or maybe it would make you feel better.
