Book review -My sister Jodie

My sister Jodie

“Jodie .It was the first word I ever said. Most people mouth ‘Mumma’ or ‘dadda’ .I guess people name the things they love most. That’s why I said Jodie .My Sister.”
Pearl and Jodie are sisters .Pearl is quiet and cautious while Jodie is bold and brash –but Pearl adores her anyway .When their parents get jobs at Melchester College - posh new boarding school the girls are thrust into a new life. Jodie has always been the leader but this time it’s Pearl who is making all the new friends, not Jodie .Constantly getting into trouble-arguing with her mother ,flirting with the gardener and not fitting in with the snobby teenagers her age ,Jodie finds her new life difficult. But Pearl is doing extremely well and even though she may not need Jodie as much as she thought –Jodie needs her.
And when a tragic event occurs at fireworks night ,Pearl realises just how much she needs her big sister
I chose My sister Jodie because it is a great book and I totally recommend it for ages 9-14.I rate it *****5 stars !!
