Product Information

I wish the situation involving Billie had a better resolution it seemed she was going to leave Cathy It was a lovely time over all. Jacqueline is one of the nation’s favourite authors, and her books are loved and cherished by young readers not only in the UK but all over the world. In spite of the typical girl-on-girl hate with the school bullies, and with other girls, and Mab moving on to being friends with a boy, Micky, because, and I quote, "[. Unlike some of JW's earlier books, Mabs' mum is clearly suffering (from depression, it would appear her confidence in general) but the subject is broached with care and sympathy, and it's apparent Mabs doesn't blame her mum for sometimes not being able to care for them.

The narrative is relevant and features current lingo and contemporary issues, I believe that any child would enjoy this book. Inside they find wonderful drawings of fairies - although they're far from the sweet characters that Mab imagined! Wilson dares to confront topics most children authors wouldn't dream of - and as always, it pays off. Although Mabs is not always the most likeable character, I believe Wilson presents her as a realistic child struggling to cope with her separated parents and bulling classmates. I always take off the dust cover on hardback's I'm actively reading to keep them safe and my jaw dropped when I saw what was under it.I adored the illustrations, they made the book come alive, flowing imagination out of the book like a fairy flying. I love how she mixed the real-life feelings of a child dealing with bullies at school and an absent father with the fantasy world of fairies and magic. uk will use the information you provide on this form to be in touch with you and to provide updates and marketing. I was very disappointed to see that Nick Sharratt is no longer Wilson's illustrator, although she explained that this is because (after 30 years) he wants to focus on something else, I was still saddened not to see the tell-tale art type expected from Wilson's books. The care system is portrayed with little distaste, and don't try to tear the family apart, but put them back together again.

JW has shown she's not afraid to include LBGTQ characters in her kids' books before (though in my opinion, 'Rent a Bridesmaid' contains her one true positive rep), and in 'Project Fairy', there is only the slight implication of queer content. Additional note: Mab is shown to be good at playing football once - brought on by her new best boy-friend, Micky, because feminism - but it never comes up again. I kind of wish there was a mention, like a suggestion, of whether Mum was taking any kind of medication, any antidepressants, however.

On nous parle de fées dans le résumé, j’attendais vraiment plus de magie dans l’histoire, dommage car ça aurait rajouté un peu de paillettes à l’intrigue. As a teenager she started work for a magazine publishing company and then went on to work as a journalist on Jackie magazine (which she was told was named after her! Jacqueline Wilson wrote her first novel when she was nine years old, and she has been writing ever since. But later on, he is kind and sweet to her; it's only the adjustment period that had stressed him out, and made him distant and seemingly scary.

Featuring fairies, friendship and family; Project Fairy is a mesmerising story filled with magic and wonder that young readers won't forget in a hurry.

It’s also painfully obvious how there are (incorrect) references put in for modern kids to relate to, like watching cat videos on YouTube. Though I am sad that Nick Sharratt no longer illustrates the bright, iconic covers for JW books anymore, but I understand he has to move on to new projects and things. She has written over 100 books and is the creator of characters such as Tracy Beaker and Hetty Feather.

The ending is kind of rushed, too, but perhaps an open ending, where we don't know most of the characters' fates, is realistic? Some character arcs where never resolved and some plot points felt a little shoved in with a "it's magic! Inconsciemment la d*pression, l’abandon d’un parent, l’acceptation d’une famille recomposée, l’h*rcèlement scolaire sont traités.As I've got older, I've understood a lot more about the adults/parents, with their struggles, such as protecting their families, financial worries, mental health and general well-being.
