The Illustrated Mum

Average rating4.3
This book was absolutely amazing! The style Jacqueline uses in her books, I really adore. I still read her books as comfort reads.
I've read quite a few Jacqueline Wilson books to my daughter but the illustrated mum is a special book.
Jacqueline Wilson writes in a way that's lid friendly, but treats them like adults at the same time. Reading the illustrated mum as a parent adds a layer that makes the story even more special.
Great book, amazing author, easy 5
We always love our mums, don't we? Star and Dolphin definitely love their mum, Marigold, though she's a difficult mum to love. For starters, she's covered head to toe in strange tattoos, and, second, she's not always there for her daughters. Such an eccentric mum makes life complicated and disturbing for the two girls. When Marigold comes home from a rock concert with Star's dad, Micky (not Dolphin's dad—he is a different Micky, it turns out), life becomes much more complicated and disturbing.
An unexpectedly complex look at a complex person and her complex sister and her complex mother. Recommended.
