Ratings and reviews

I have read about a quarter of this book and got absoulutely fed up. It was boring and had too much detail. When I started reading it I thought it started off great. I expected itto be great coming from such a good writer but I was totally wrong. I would not reccomend this for any ages unless you like old fashioned books. I was truly disappointed

This book is:-X.........EXCELLENT! I think this book tells you lots about Jacky's life. I would recomennd this book for 7 - 11. I first read it at school.
