About this listen

 Tina is a triplet, but she's always been the odd one out. Her sisters Phil and Maddie are bigger and stronger and better at just about everything. Luckily, they look after teeny-tiny Tina wherever they go – but when the girls start in scary, super-strict Miss Lovejoy's class, they're split up, and Tina has to fend for herself for the first time. Tina is horrified when she's paired up with angry bully Selma, who nobody wants to be friends with. But when Miss Lovejoy asks them to help her create a butterfly garden in the school playground, Tina discovers she doesn't always need her sisters – and that there's a lot more to Selma than first meets the eye.©2015 Jacqueline Wilson (P)2015 Bolinda Publishing Fiction Growing Up Growing Up & Facts of Life Literature & Fiction Friendship Feel-Good

Teaches to never judge by character or class. Wonderful to see a nod towards Ruby and Garnet. Wonderfully read too!

One of her best

I personally have been ill from a very young age and having too sit out a lot because I did nit feel good …this book really makes me happy because it links my own personal experiences with others and I loved how it also incorporated “you don’t know what your bullies are going through “ it was really sweet and shown people how they should act and finally I thought having Tina have an intent and pursuing it like I am! With art . I hope you are having a good day or night! ~Lily {trying to Persaud her dreams } 🌸💕

I found this,and along with rent a bridesmaid,and every other Jacquline Wilson book,when audiobook put on weird music,I was baffled.
Tina is a triplet.
One day,Phil and Maddie have a surprise-they are having a after school party and have gifts!
Along with many others surprises,this is a wonderful day.
But at the end of the day,they have a final surprise in store-(a horrid one)they are moving all the way to Scotland,where Miss Lovejoy lives!
They were best friends until that.
Maddie explains they are moving school because there was a terrible family tragedy.That caused a series of tragic events.
Tina is left alone.
She writes to Phil and calls Maddie.
But the story is set just before the death butterflies come and start a war,in 2019,
And all sorts of weird and amazing,sad and funny,scary,worrying and dreadful,surprising and exciting things are going to happen to Tina (and her sisters).Now I can’t tell you what,you have to listen
To the audiobook to find out.

Butterfly!!!!!!
