The Longest Whale Song Book Review

The Longest Whale Song Jacqueline Wilson
RRP: £12:99
Type: Hardback
Pages: 320pgs
Genre: Children Fiction 10+
The Longest Whale Song
Another light and cheery number from Jacqueline Wilson. Although she is getting older and her ideas may not be as strong, the theme of The Longest Whale Song isn't a spin-off idea of one of the other books she's written. It stars another 8 year-old girl with ponytails, Ella Winters whose life is going great. A loving best friend, Sally, a heavily-pregnant loving mum, an expected baby brother and a dull and uninteresting step-dad. Apart from the last part her life is superb. But then sadly, her mum falls into a coma after giving birth, her wee brother's name is being mixed up, her best friend dumps here for the cruel Martha and the wicked Dory and she's stuck with her boring old step-dad, Jack! But soon Ella finds sanction in her whale project at school and she gets and adorable new pet gunea-pig, we can't tell you his name, gets a new best friend, Joseph and his tasty fudge and she meets her real-life dad! Will Ella's mum recover from her coma? Will the baby be named? And will their family ever recover?

4/5
