Clean Break

This book is called Clean Break by Jacqueline Wilson. It is a book about a girl named Emily whose mom and stepdad have split up. Emily's stepbrother Maxie and stepsister Vita are both younger than Em(short for Emily) and don't really understand that he has left. When they see him during New Year's, he partially ignores him with his new girlfriend. He takes them home, but they are mad at him. Whenever they see him, everything goes wrong. In the end, Maxie, Vita, Em, and her mother are lying in bed waiting when they hear the doorbell and a familiar voice..... I enjoyed this book very much. I thought Em was a great charecter through it all. She was a little self-consious of herself because she was a bit chubby. She had to deal with a lot of teasing and different problams. She was very brave and this book shows that life can be hard. My favorite part in this book was when Em got her books signed by Jenna Williams. Em is thrilled to meet Jenna William and is a bit shy. After they talk and Jenna Williams signs Em's books, she compliments the book Em is writing. Em is thrilled. Afterwards, Maxie sees a clown a runs! Em chases after him and when she catches him, she sees their dad! They run after him, but Em falls and breaks her arm.This is one of my favorite parts, because Em is happy and gets reunited with her dad.

This story is about a young family. There is an older sister called Emily and she has a brother called Maxies but her sister Vita is their step sister. Vita has a really cool Dad who is married to Emily's mum. Unfortunately one Christmas they break up. Emily then tries to get them back together by planning day trips that never go right. Jacqueline Wilson has described in great detail all of the emotions of the characters, especially Emily, who desperately wants to get her parents back together. She tells me so much about the characters that I feel they come alive. Because I am a great fan I have almost all of Jacqueline Wilson's books and I think this is one of her best. I would definitely recommend this to young teenagers. Does she succeed in getting her family back together? Well you will just have to read the book and find out.

Clean Break

I've really enjoyed reading this book and would really recommend this to an age group of 9to11.The ending of the story is very unexpected and does not give you a clear idea of what happens, however the description of the people gives you a clear picture in your mind of the characters.Having read almost all the Jacqueline Wilson books iwould say this is one of the best.This book shows that no'ones perfect. My favourite chapter is when they go and get books signed and meet their dad with another girlfriend.
