My Sister Jodie

Product Information

After a few weeks at the school, Mr Wilberforce, the headteacher, notices how good Jodie is with the Year 3 children. She is asked to tell the bedtime story for all the children when term starts. Jodie happily agrees. Sharon - Pearl and Jodie's mother. She and Jodie have frequent clashes throughout the book. She worked at a tea-shop before moving to Melchester and is the loving but sometimes up-tight wife of Joe. She is the school cook. Other characters I adored included, Mrs Wilberforce, Harriet, and I wish we had more scenes with Miss Lewin, as she seemed such an encouraging teacher for Pearl. He had a difficult upbringing and was taken into care at a young age after his mother suffered from mental illness and was unable to cope. She criticised the fact that the slipway was open to the public without any warning signs on show. Notwithstanding the evidence which emerged in the inquest, Ms James paid tribute to Mr McGrotty as a “wonderful partner” and “adoring father”.

When term starts, Pearl makes friends with a group of girls: Harriet, Sheba, Freya and Clarissa. She enjoys her lessons and for once in her life, is not bullied. Pearl also continues to do well in her schoolwork. Jodie, however, has a difficult time. The other boys and girls in her year call her a "tart" and make her life miserable. When she goes off into the woods with two boys, her reputation gets even worse, although she tells Pearl she did not do anything with them. Furthermore, Jed the gardener is being romantically pursued by some other girls in Jodie's year. When Pearl turns eleven, she receives several lovely presents. When Pearl wakes up, she finds Jodie has made her a card and a bracelet. Mrs Wilberforce gives Pearl a manuscript book and tells her that she has to write her own story in it. Harley gifts her with a torch, and they go out to badger watch together every night. One night, much to Pearl's pleasure, they even hold hands. When Pearl comes home, Jodie demands to know what's going on because she gets the wrong idea and thinks that they are being romantic. Pearl tells her they have been watching badgers and did not want her to come because she was too noisy. Miss French - the assistant head, who has a soft spot for Mr Wilberforce. She owns a big dog called Shep, and is obsessed with Elvis Presley. Before her death, Miss French liked Jodie as she regularly took Old Shep for long walks. Jodie's mum dislikes Miss French because she bosses people around. In April 2017, he admitted dealing cocaine after being caught with wraps of the class A drug and a knife. Louise James has commented little since the tragedy, on one occasion thanking those who supported her. However, following the 2017 inquest, she issued a brief statement which gave a glimpse of the searing pain that she was living through.

Zeph, Sakura and Dan - Three Juniors who were boarding at the school in the holidays. They all looked up to Jodie, then Pearl. On Friday 1 March 2019, Jodie and her friends decided to go to Amy's Park, Harold Hill, to listen to music and smoke cannabis. The thing about travel is that no matter how far away you are from home, you’re still with yourself” When their parents get new jobs at a grand, fusty old boarding school, Melchester College, the girls have to move there - and when they arrive, things start to change.

For the most part, I love the imperfect childhoods that all Wilson’s characters inhabit. It’s a cliché, but she was the first writer whose characters ever made sense to me. I was a socially awkward kid from a single-parent family. I struggled to make friends and soothed my loneliness with the friends I made in books and the ones I created in my head. Y’know, basically like 99% of Jacqueline Wilson’s main characters. So I loved her books for how they comforted me and helped me feel less alone. And I still love her books because of their timelessness in that regard. It makes me happy to imagine modern-day lonely, struggling kids finding in them what I once did (I’m sure they do). Harriet, Sheba, Freya, and Clarissa - Pearl's friends, though Clarissa is sometimes mean about Jodie. Pearl is closer to Harriet than the rest and keep in touch after Jodie's accident. Freya always cries at the start of term.Sharon - The cook at Melchester College is Sharon, Joe's wife and mother of Jodie, Pearl, and May. She continually reprimands or lectures Jodie for failing to appreciate all the advantages she never had as a youngster. Det Ch Insp Dave Whellams, who investigated Jodie Chesney's murder, described the 17-year-old as a typical "girl next door". Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing cocaine and cannabis and failure to surrender to custody from when he was 16. Harriet, Freya, Sheba and Clarissa - Pearl's friends at school. Pearl likes Harriet the best but Clarissa can get really mean about Jodie.

More than forty million copies of her books have been sold.

The Lifeboat spokesman said people still visit Buncrana pier occasionally to leave a floral tribute in memory of the victims. I liked My Sister Jodie because I found it had a bit more depth then the other Jacqueline Wilson books. Most of her books show bullying but never in so much detail, since I have read the book many times, I have noticed different things each time I read it. I had never heard of Jacqueline Wilson before, but I was reading The Girls in the Garden by Lisa Jewell, and a character in that book was complaining about the books she was made to read in school -- and she said they should be reading Jacqueline Wilson books because they're a true representation of kids. Anyway, that's how I discovered her. And I'm glad I did! As a little girl she was very shy, but her confidence grew from strength to strength as she got older," he wrote. I don't reread much, but I wanted to read this for a pop sugar challenge last year, but I didn't get to it. This weekend, I wanted to make an effort to get to it and have done a reading vlog: https://youtu.be/Kgi6rIXpQD8
