Amazing!!

It was a great story, even though a bit sad to me, and I hope to listen to more books like this!

A story for all age groups.

I first heard this story as a child and I really enjoyed it. I then listened to it again years later as an adult and loved it. It does a wonderful job exploring mental illness and the effects it has on children. Its a story for all age groups.

Fab!

(Read all pls)
The most touching story. The only minor issue is that Josie Lawrence doesn't really fit in with the books atmosphere, but you get used to it so I would buy the book 😁

Different...

It is such a good engaging book which also helps you realise your value of your own parents. It is a very touchy subject that has been written about but doesn't fail to meet great standards! Surely recommends:)

An interesting book

wowie
❗Spoilers❗
A interesting book to say the least. I'm kinda of glad in the end that Marigold didn't get back to the girls. I felt like she needed to be stabilized. Tbh she was to mentally unstable. I don't blame star 1 one tiny bit about leaving her for her dad I'm pretty sure star just wanted to be loved and appreciated by someone. All that responsibility for one kid! I'm glad that Marigold is realising how she affected star and dolphin. I think this book was great and couldn't put it down. Finished in less than a week! If your thinking about it please buy this book. The reader really showed the emotions of the characters and poor old owly I mean Oliver. He was such a good friend I'm pretty sure Oliver needed dolphin as much as she needed him!

An excellent audiobook, so glad I listened to it

I used to be a big Jacqueline Wilson fan as a kid, but for some reason I never came across this one. I figured the content of this book would be enjoyable to read even though I'm in my 30s, and it did not disappoint. I was a bit nervous about the narrator, but when she was doing the voices for all the other characters it just painted a story for me.

The content of the book itself is very good and doesn't hold anything back, but makes it easy to digest for a younger audience. I compared it a lot with Lola Rose, which was my all time favourite Jacqueline Wilson book, and I think it was on the same standard. I'm really glad I was able to read this. I would recommend it to anyone of any age.

fun for all ages

I grew up with a bipolar mum, and how refreshing to hear mental illness depicted in a funny loveable way in this story.
The narrator / actress gives an Oscar worthy performance! in fact, I had to double check that it wasn't narrated by several people she does the voices so well.
loved every minute of this book.
and it's not just for kids - I'm in my twenties!
