From the Inside Flap

Pearl and Jodie are sisters. Pearl is the younger one, small, shy and axious. Jodie is nearly three years older, bold and brash and bad - and Pearl adores her. When their parents get new jobs at Melchester College, a Victorian gothic mansion, the girls spend a bizarre summer holiday in the boarding school with just a few leftover children for company. Things start to change now they are in their new home. Jodie has always been the leader - but now it's Pearl who's making new friends: tall, eccentric Harley and Mrs Wilberforce, the wife of the Head, with her library of wonderful books. Jodie just seems to be getting into more and more trouble - arguing with Mum, scaring the children, flirting with the young gardener . . .

When term begins, their strange summer is over. But things keep on changin for the sisters. Jodie really doean't fit in with the posh teenagers in her class. Yet Pearl is blossoming. Maybe she doesn't need Jodie as much as she used to. But Jodie needs her. And when the school celebration of firework night comes around and a tragic event occurs, Pearl realizes quite how much she does need her big sister . . .

gauri kohli(13),india

this book is fantastic!i could not put it down even for a minute from when i started reading it.anybody could be engrossed in this perfect book for jacqueline wilson readers.it is a story about a delicate and shy girl called pearl.her elder sister is more bullying and sort of brave,always protecting her.though she is kind of rude to their mother and a little too much spoiled brat.sometimes pearl wishes she would not do all these embarrasing things,but she loves her sister the way she is.

this is the perfect storyof a loving relationship between two sisters. a must for every jacqueline wilson fan !

This is a exellent book by Jacqueline Wilson.If you are not a huge Jacqueline Wilson fan then you can still read this book. This was actully the first of her books I read. Th book is about a shy girl called Pearl.She has a older sister called Jodie who has more than 2 piresing on her ear.Jodie is very cheeky and Pearls boss mum tells Pearl not to copy her sister. One day Pearl fines a letter in the mailbox from a bording school. She thinks that her mum and her dad are going to send Jodie away to there. Both Jodie and Pearl are shocked when they find out that there parents have got a new job there and they will have to go to school there. Peral wants to go there being tried of being bullied at there old school. Jodie dosen't want to go because she likes it in her shool. When they move there Pearl makes friends quikley but Jodie is having troble. In the last few chapters of the book Jodie dies and Peal wishes that the had never come. Its so sad that it made me cry. When you are finished reading it you shoulg read theese other books by j. Wilson... The Dare Game Clean Break The Bed and Breakfast star.
