x-xtonix-x By the same author as Candyfloss. Its about two girls called pearl and Jodie whos parents get a new job at a bording school in the country, which they then have to attend them selves. Al in all its a great book and i would recommend it to anyone who also likes Jacqueline Wilsons other books as well.

A delightful read! Wilson, who is a prominent English writer, has written a book that has many quirky characters but they are so lovable and though the main character, Floss, has to make some tough decisions, it is done with hope and humor.
A good book. I would have liked to know more about how the mum was getting on in America. And it was a bit long for me.So half way through the book I got a bit bord. but it was the longest book i have ever read!

It is a good book, but quite boring at some parts. It also takes quite a while to read as there are so many pages. but i would recomend it for quite older people maybe aged 9+.
Floss' mom decides to move to Australia with her new husband and infant son. Floss is invited to go but doesn't want to join her "new family" because she would leave her friends, home, and most importantly, her Dad behind. Floss’ decision proves to be life-changing as she makes new friends, meets new people, and rides the roller coaster of life.
Floss is a ordinary kid. Her dad owns a cafe with only three customers. Her mum got a new partner called Steve and they had a baby called Tiger. Her best friend in the world is Rihannon. But ever since her mum announced that Steve got a job in Sydney Australia and that they would stay six monthes there Floss's life suddenly changes.
This was the greatest book, not a patch on Opal Plumstead though (The New Book)
I luv this book so much......... she is such a good writer. I rate this 4/5.
