Review: My eight year old daughter is a huge fan of Jacqueline Wilson, which is probably true of most eight year old daughters, given Wilson's popularity at the current moment. Sapphire Battersea is the second in a new departure for Wilson. Best known for writing fairly gritty modern day dramas, Wilson has now turned her attention to the historical novel, with a trilogy of books about a young girl called Hetty Feather. Sapphire Battersea is the second book in the series, and this is the unabridged audio book. My daughter found it a little confusing at first. She had not read Hetty Feather, but she listened to it all the way through. Then we had a chat about some of the things she struggled with (i.e. details about the historical period), then she listened to it again and loved it. Then she got Hetty Feather out of the library and listened to that. She is now listening to Sapphire Battersea again and is pestering me as to when the next and final book in the series will come out. I would say therefore that it is a resounding success, although be prepared, as in many of Wilson's tales, for woe. Both books in this series made my daughter cry vast amounts, but in a good way, so she tells me.

Review: I chose this book as I was really into Jacqueline Wilson. Because I'm older know (I was 10-11 then) I have lost interest in her books. But I still enjoy reading this one along with cookie. Jacqueline's books are all generally the same, but there is something about this book i love. Possibly it is the Victorian layout as I love history. I am giving this a four though, as I found it enjoyable but long at times. I think that children ten to eleven would enjoy this book. Even though it is a good book I think I will stick to Stephen king!
