One of the things that is nice about the fact that my eldest daughter loving reading as much as myself is the fact that I can share books with her that I used to read when I was younger. One of my favourite children's book authors was Jacqueline Wilson so I was pleased when Elise also decided that Jacqueline was her author of choice. Having recently reviewed the
Jacqueline Wilson magazine, we were more than pleased when we were recently chosen to review her latest book, The Butterfly Club, can you believe that this is the 101st book that she's written!!
Tina is a triplet, but she's always been the odd one out. Her sisters Phil and Maddie are better at just about everything. Luckily, they look after Tina wherever they go - but when the girls start in Miss Lovejoy's class they're split up for the first time.
Tina is horrified when she's paired up with angry bully Selma. But when Miss Lovejoy asks them to help her create a butterfly garden in the school playground, Tina discovers that she doesn't always need her sisters - and that there's a lot more to Selma than first meets the eye.
The Butterfly Club is written from Tina's point of view. In typical Jacqueline style, the writing is simple yet humerous and meaningful.
