A powerful novel of two sisters and their tattoo-crazy mum who has real difficulties in coping

Dolphin adores her mother. She’s got wonderful clothes, bright hair and vivid tattoos all over her body. She definitely lives a colourful life. Dolphin’s older sister, Star, also loves her but is beginning to wonder if staying with a mum whose temper can be as flashy as her body-art is the best thing for the girls . . .

"A marvellous, poignant tale . . . strong stuff in theme and language" Telegraph

Another fantastic read.You never disappoint Jacky! This book in my opinion is scintillating! How you come up with this i don't know. I myself love writing stories in your style of writing. My mother says 'Oh those Jacqueline Wilson! books you just can't put them down, Can you?!' I am totally addicted to these books.
