Vicky Angel
Vicky and Jade are best friends forever. So when Vicky dies in an accident, she doesn’t let a little old thing like being dead interfere with her life. Instead she carries on as usual, following Jade around and telling her what to do and how to think. At first Jade’s thrilled to have a ghost as her best friend. But what will happen when Jade realises that it’s time to let Vicky go and carry on living in the human world instead? A moving and original story of love, acceptance and moving on.

I think it is a really good book! I recommend it to people who are 8+. I think Jacqueline Wilson really did know what it was like to be followed around by a ghost of your best friend! I think this should be book of the year! I hope you vote it !

The book Vicky Angel by Jacqueline Wilson is very unique compared to some other children/young adult’s books. Firstly, it contains a lot more sadness, shock and darkness than other books. Here is a brief plot: There are two girls called Vicky and Jade. Whilst Vicky is outgoing and strong-minded and popular, Jade is very quiet and prefers to suffer in silence. However, on their way home from school, Vicky and Jade are arguing. Vicky runs out onto the road and gets run over. Jade is very consumed with grief. Vicky comes back as a ghost but doesn’t have her wings. She follows Jade around and Jade gets annoyed with Vicky’s ghost sometimes.
I found this book very emotional, humorous, sad, thrilling, shocking and unexpected. Whatever your taste in books, I recommend you read Vicky Angel because it has a little of everything in it. I guarantee you will thoroughly enjoy this amazing page-turner!simpreet
