Vicky Angel

Product Information

Jacqueline Wilson was born in Bath, Somerset, in 1945, but spent most of her childhood in Kingston-on-Thames. Matters come to a head during a long-anticipated class camping trip; after Maxwell catches Mark with a forbidden knife (a camp mate’s, as it turns out) and lowers the boom, Mark storms off into the woods. This rubs veteran science teacher Bill Maxwell the wrong way, big time, so that even after Mark realizes that he’s being a snot and tries to make amends, all he gets from Mr. Jenny: One of Madeleine's best friends, she has been known to have a lot of boyfriends, including Ryan Harper, who was Vicky's boyfriend until she died. Oh, why, why, why didn't I say yes, though— and then we'd have walked home, arms linked, and we'd be together now, going to school on an ordinary Monday, the two of us— “We're still the two of us, idiot!

Vicky Angel by Jacqueline Wilson, Nick Sharratt | Waterstones

She has written over 100 books and is the creator of characters such as Tracy Beaker and Hetty Feather. As Jade tries to get used to life without Vicky, or at least without a Vicky that other people can see, Vicky's spectre becomes more and more controlling. With the help of the counsellor Jade manages to block to Vicky out completely by leaving her when she wants and only seeing her when she wants, this therefore helps Jade to move on and to carry on with her life.Patricia Reilly Giff, consultant to this series, received her bachelor's degree from Marymount College and a master's degree in history from St. Vicky’s spirit demands Jade’s loyalty; forces her to talk cruelly to those trying to help her; makes her laugh at inappropriate times; pinches and prods her, causing her to fidget incessantly; and constantly reminds Jade of her death, even insinuating Jade’s culpability. We know it's so easy to get attached to a favourite author, and when their books are as good as Jacqueline Wilson's, it's no surprise that some children feel like they'll never find anything they love as much. No one from our housing development ever gets to do anything glamorous or famous, and anyway, even the richest, prettiest, most talented kids can't make a living out of acting. Jade and Vicky are best friends, “closer than sisters,” and although the cover openly reveals Vicky’s death, it does not prepare readers for Jade’s intense reactions.

Jade is so used to living in the shadow of Vicky, her loud, confident best friend, that when a tragic accident occurs, she can hardly believe that Vicky's no longer around. At first ecstatic to be reunited with Vicky, Jade quickly becomes tormented by her, a girl who, readers discover, often manipulated their friendship.Double Act won the prestigious Smarties Medal and the Children’s Book Award as well as being highly commended for the Carnegie Medal. My favourite character was Jade because she seems very kind and I would recommed this book to 10+ year olds. She is beautiful, all the girls want to be her best friend and all the boys want to be her boyfriend and she flirts with them all but her best friend is Jade - a girl who couldn't be more different from Vicky. So I'm not really the target group here and not keen on reading childrens' books in the first place, however, this was extremely disappointing.

But we've got some recommendations about great stories they can try next - and we want to hear your ideas too! And am none the wiser - what exactly the parallels are between Vicky and Vito (or whomever) remains the secrets of goodreads' logarithm.Vicky Angel is a children's book by Jacqueline Wilson, about a young girl's struggle with her grief over losing her best friend, Vicky. We walk to school together, we sit next to each other all day, and after school I either hang out at Vicky's or she comes home with me. I wanted it for myself but I didn't have enough cash for two and it turned out it was way too big for me anyway.
