My Sister Jodie

Pearl and Jodie are like chalk and cheese. Pearl is quiet and cautious. Jodie is brash and bold and bad – and Pearl adores her. But when their parents get new jobs as a cook and caretaker at a fusty old boarding school, the sisters have to move… and everything starts to change. Jodie has always been the leader – but now it’s Pearl who’s making new friends. Pearl fits in with the posh teenagers at the school, while Jodie seems to be getting into more and more trouble. Maybe Pearl just doesn’t need Jodie like she used to… but Jodie needs her. And when Fireworks Night explodes with a tragedy, Pearl remembers how much she needs her big sister too… An emotional roller-coaster ride of a story from a superstar author.

ANOTHER EXTREMELY MOVING BUT STRONG BOOK :)

I really really really loved my sister jodie, because it was the first book I cried at. Although i knew what was going to happen in the end, it was so well told and fast paced and exciting, that when you finally realised what had actually happened, you were gutted for the characters, as if they were real people. Wonderful, but bittersweet read.
