Double Act won the prestigious Smarties Medal and the Children’s Book Award as well as being highly commended for the Carnegie Medal. Her favourite television show is ' rabbit hutch', a show for young children about a man and his pet rabbit.

This was a difficult book for me to read because it hit home in many ways for me and I felt it was very accurate in describing Beauty's feelings. She's also contending with an explosively angry father who delights in belittling her and her mother. Overall, I'd recommend anyone who is or who used to be a Jacqueline Wilson fan to pick this book up and read it. The birthday starts to become unbearable when, at the show, Beauty is too shy to go onstage (the show is to celebrate people's birthdays), and he shouts at her in the limousine as well as ruining her cookies. I didn't think badly of her books, but I wasn't really interested in them, I thought I'd read it all before.

Jadi istimewa nya cerita2 yg di tulis oleh JW adalah kejadian sehari-hari yg mungkin banyak dialami orang tetapi tetap menyentuh,mengharukan atau membahagiakan. He obviously felt a certain amount of love and affection for his daughter and wife, and wasn't only a villain. Sharratt's trademark illustrations lend their own kind of comfort by giving a quick graphic preview of what's to come in each chapter. Her insightful and emotionally challenging books not only stretch reading ability, but give young readers a glimpse into many kinds of lives.

However, Rhona desperately wants to be friends with Beauty, which reveals one day when Skye is at a dentist's appointment. This is one of my favourite Jacqueline Wilson books, and I think Beauty is one of my favourite of her characters too - I find her very relatable, especially her vivid imagination, her awkwardness, and her love of Sara Crewe from 'A Little Princess'.Dilly does neither of those first two things and ends up happy and successful with her own flourishing business. They fin themselves in an idyllic seaside resort run by a man named Mike, who takes Dilly on as a breakfast chef in his B and B.

Berkali-kali Beauty dan ibunya harus mengalah dan terpaksa menuruti keinginan Ayahnya yang sangat mudah marah, apalagi jika moodnya sedang jelek. I love the way all the characters develop and grow (Mum and Beauty) and some that never learn (Dad). Beauty tells her mother, Dilys ' Dilly' Cookson about the teasing and Dilly decides to learn how to bake cookies, even though she is an awful cook, in the hope that Beauty will get a new nickname, Cookie (a play on her surname, Cookson).Well, I first read this book after loaning it from my school's library, and I was rather taken with it~so much so that I read it twice in a matter of days. Sam sounds lovely, as does Lily, but the idea of a twelve year old watching a kid's program is kinda weird *let us conveniently forget that time I watched Chuggington then*. For the birthday party, Beauty's father forces her to get corkscrew curls and popular bullies Skye, Arabella and Emily develop a new nickname for her: Ugly Corkscrew. Ellie, whose mother died when she was young, misses her love and advice terribly, particularly when it comes to the ever-difficult area of boys. Frequently berated for breaking his hyper-fussy house rules, as well as for her lack of looks, confidence and friends, Beauty lives in uneasy fear whenever Dad’s home.
