Look insideQueenie
Our queen of writers! Set in Elizabeth II’s coronation year, this is trademark Jacky with a gorgeous furry extra. It’s 1953, and Princess Elizabeth is about to be crowned Queen of England. Elsie Kettle can’t wait to go to London to see the celebrations on Coronation Day. But tragedy strikes when Elsie and her Nan fall ill with TB. Suddenly Elsie is whisked away to a grim hospital ward, stuck bed for months on end. Can Queenie – the majestic hospital cat – help Elsie to get better? A lovely, touching story of true friendship in tough times. Get set for a very special, very royal surprise…

I really liked this book because it just had such a warm feel to it. I honestly didn’t want it to end and it was the first time I’d read a large chapter book. Loved it!
