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

This was a great book!!

My absolute favourite character is star!!!

She is fabulous!

I loved that piercing!!!

I liked the book because i noticed that Star's character is identical to MY sister's character!!!

(dont include the tatooed mummy part! my mother IS NOT tatooed!!!!)

. Vicky Angel was my first book I read of Jaqueline WIlson and I loved it so much, I read it like, five times! Sleep-overs is another great book! Nick Sharrat is a really good illustrater, too!

I like the character Dolphin because she always sticks with Marigold. I am on page 131 and i am loving it so far.

Ava, 7

This book is really good!! I love the ending. Marigold is cool but a little crazy (no affence). But still, this is one of Jacky's best books. I could read it again! Dolphin is so cute and imaginable bless her!!
