About this ebook

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?

Ratings and reviews

In quite a lot of shops this book has been in the kids section. Its not for kids! Its got horrible horrible abuse in it say things like "I saw my mom black all over her chest dad keeps abusing her". I'm only 12 and read this when I was 11 I was caught reading this new book my mom read 3 chapters and was completely apauled! A week after we went to water stones and got a book my mom complained about that book and said to remove it from the kids section. Jacqueline Wilson needs to write about more kiddy things

No thank you, just NO. Such a bad book, don't waste your money please. And such horrible things in it aswell. Not suitable, shouldn't even be a book. I was so excited to read it but this, this is just a DISAPPOINTMENT !! Come on Jaqueline Wilson, you can do better right?!
