From AudioFile

Wilson gives the narrator more than a mouthful just to pronounce her title. But, as always, Sandi Toksvig more than meets the challenge. Rebecca has a fight with her best friend and walks into a witch's pond. While in there, she makes the acquaintance of Glubbslyme, a frog. Since he is hundreds of years old, Glubbslyme hilariously sprinkles his sentences with words like "desist," "lily-livered," and "daresay." Toksvig joyously adds zing to an outstanding text. Glubbslyme's magic gives Rebecca a new fascination for her friends, and she soon learns an important lesson. A fun story delivers an important message.

3.0 out of 5 stars This wasn't her Best!, September 10, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Glubbslyme (Hardcover)

This book wasn't as good as i hoped it would of been. Jacqueline Wilson is a women of many talents, this book was just an example of what she can do. DOUBLE ACT, THE SUITCASE KID and THE STORY OF TRACY BEAKER are all amazing books by the same amazing author. GLUBBSLYME was a great book, i give it a thumbs up, and would recommend it to children aged 8-11!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, August 29, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Glubbslyme (Hardcover)

This book is not Jacqueline Wilson's best but it's not far off.It isn't as realistic as some of her others. But then again I think she should write a sequel to it. 4 stars are good!
