All reviews for Half a Sister
-
I love this so much and I have just finished for the second time! I love how it is in diary format because it make it easy to read. The part about the car crash got me shivering and hiding under a blanket-but I still continued I definitely made the right choice.

This book is in a diary format, which is – in my opinion – a more fun way to read a book. Plus, a book in diary format breaks it all up a bit so it’s easier to read for younger children. This starts off with Hannah (main character) telling us about herself, and why she started the diary. The idea of having a half sister is a very common theme for books, but Kelly McKain has managed to make it into an original, unique, funny book with a few twists and adventures to Paris along the way.
The cover of Half a Sister is gorgeous, and it gives a great first impression! I like how most of the cover is illustrated, but there are a few real flowers on it too. I don’t think illustrators of books get enough credit for what they do, so I’d just like to say that Katie Lovell has done a brilliant job on this cover – well done!
The characters in this book are just simply….awesome. ;) My favourite character is Ellie, Hannah’s newly discovered half-sister. She sounds quite cool, and although she has her down sides, she’s a great addition to the story. Her background is really interesting – but sad – and not many authors give a lot of information on the background of a character, so this was great.
My overall rating of the whole book? Well – I can’t see any down sides to it at all! A great book to add to your bookshelf. Although my copy of this book can’t actually fit on my bookshelf…wow I really need a third one….ahem anyway, I give this book 5/5! It really does deserve it. Well done Kelly – you rock! :)
