About this listen

When life with Jayni's violent-tempered father becomes too frightening to cope with, Jayni, her mum and her little brother Kenny are forced to escape in the middle of the night. Slipping out of the house unseen, travelling up to London by train and checking into a hotel – it's almost like playing an elaborate game. They even make up false identities to protect their secret, and Jayni becomes the glamorous-sounding Lola Rose. But when money runs out and reality bites, what will they do next?

Critic reviews

'A natural storyteller ... compulsive reading.' (The Guardian)
'Optimism and despair come in equal parts in Wilson's child-centred contemporary dramas.' (The Oxford Times)
'A truly great read.' (Yorkshire Post)
'I loved this book. It is honest and sensitive and a really quick read – that's because you'll need to keep turning the pages to find out what happens to Lola Rose, and Kendall, and her mum ... highly recommended.' (Reading Matters)

I’m already a definite JW fan! Her books are just so thrilling! But this has to be one of my favorites! I was so scared for poor Lola Rose when Victoria gets ill. I was so scared for them! 🚑 Harpreet is the absolute best. not so keen on her mum though..I have listened to this again and again. Thank you so much audible for this audiobook! 100% listen to this. no complaints :)

I think that the story is very good, just maybe Jacqueline Wilson shouldn't write about cancer, even though it makes the plot more real. I don't think writing about dying will really be best for children, it might scare them. Otherwise amazing story!
