Hello all!
I have just finished reading Dame Jacqueline Wilson’s latest book called Dancing the Charleston!
It is based in the 1920’s and focuses on a young girl named Mona and her Aunt. Mona’s parents both died in World War 1 and Mona only has her Aunt to look after her. They live in a small cottage on the picturesque land of Somerset Manor.
When Lady Somerset dies, Mona and her Aunt’s lives are thrown into turmoil! Will Mona make friends with the young Somerset children or be rushed of onto the streets?
This book also includes a well-favoured character from Jacqueline Wilson’s other stories and is filled with various plot twists and turns!
I personally loved this book: I couldn’t put it down!
If you want to find out more about Jacqueline Wilson visit her website, jacquelinewilson.co.uk and you will find many fun and entertaining games as well as hidden facts and posters!
You can find out more about that time period of the 1920’s and 1930′s .
I would definitely recommend this story to 9+ and as it faces many problems only dealt by girls, I would say it would be more enjoyed by females but both genders would be entertained. I would rate this story 8/10!
