Fantastic Book...

I am 24 now, but I read this book when I was 10. I absolutely loved it! I also got a chance to meet Jacqueline Wilson and she is wonderful! She read an excerpt from her book "Cliff hanger". That is what made me want to buy the book. It has a lot of situations that many young girls and boys have gone through, including myself. The book shows a girl that becomes a heroine however, there is one small detail that impresses me more. It shows a girl trying to make the most of what her family has at the moment. It certainly opened up my eyes and appreciate what I had. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone younger than 10 because of certain situations they may not understand at that age. Great read! Highly recommend for ages 10 and up.

Elsa ~ The mane-haired heroine!

Elsa is a frizzy lion-haired 10 year old who is NOT keen on staying at the rotting, peeling "Royal Hotel" or, as some of the letters have fallen off, Elsa would say "Oyal Htl" but there she has ALOT of adventures! She meets a group of vandalisms and eventually becomes great friends with them, along with Naomi, the girl who loves to read in the loos! She saves the hotel from burning to cinders with her loud voice and eventually moves to a 5-star hotel, where she has the time of her life! Have fun with Elsa in the 100% recommended, highly entertaining, incredibly amusing, and sidecrackingly hilarious "Bed and Breakfast Star" A++

A fabulous read

I read this book at age 9 and couldn't put it down. This book is perfect for girls ages 7-10 who still have yet to master the art of reading. The story is about a girl who's parents are separated and she moves around very often. She is so witty and good- natured that she finds an adventure in every move she makes. The illistrations are simple and yet unique and I would recommend this book to any girl, around the age of 7-10.

Review of The bed and breakfast star

I read this book when I was younger, and I absolutley loved it. I'm 15 now, and I still have to say this is probably the best book I have ever read. I love all the titles by Jaqueline Wilson, but this one is my favourite. Probably because this story covers all emotion. It is at times sad, but others very funny. The main character is great, and Jaqueline Wilson captures the emotion perfectly. You can see the character clearly in your head. If this is an adult reading this review, considering buying it for a child, do! This is an excellent book, and even if your child does not like reading they will find it very hard to put this book down!

Totally and uterly excelent!!!!

It usually takes me ages to read a long book but I could not put this book down. It is one of very best books I have ever read!!!!!!!!
