One of Jaqueline Wilson's recent releases, Opal Plumstead is a fictive story of a clever and studious fourteen year old girl.
Her mother is selfish but loving, her gorgeously dazzling sister risking everything for love.
Opal receives a scholarship to st. Margaret's and becomes best friends with Olivia.
Opal loves her father dearly, even when he is sent to jail for embezzlement. Opal is then forced to take a job at Fairy Glen Sweet Factory, Olivia is no longer her friend, and she has to deal with horrid bullies.
But she makes friends with Mrs Roberts, Mr Beeston and Alfred.
The words Jaqueline Wilson has selected carefully for this story makes Opal Plumstead a sweet read. I nearly cried and often giggled as I read this book.
Will life go on as planned? What does fate have in store for her?
Read Opal Plumstead to find out.
