Find out in this brilliant book.

It’s a quiet story. From the start, my daughter was completely absorbed by the simple, everyday intricacies of Tina’s life, because the writing is detailed and full of voice. I was sometimes surprised by what made my daughter laugh or gasp, not realizing how her sense of humor and/or awareness of the world and relationships between people had matured. I grew a little bored in the first third, to be honest, because it was so very everyday: school, a mean girl, etc. I was beginning to wonder if my biggest pleasure would be watching my daughter’s.Jacqueline is also a great reader, and has amassed over 20,000 books, along with her famous collection of silver rings. As well as winning many awards for her books, including the Children’s Book of the Year, Jacqueline is a former Children’s Laureate, and in 2008 she was appointed a Dame. it was, uh... hm. i liked parts of it. the triplets' story and tina's medical issues were handled well. when does jacqueline wilson not handle difficult subjects well?

There's definitely important themes about not knowing what other people are suffering through and therefore being nice to people rather than piling on BUT you have a child who is clearly suffering at the least physical abuse, but also emotional abuse and you have not only a parent but also a teacher who is aware of this, or at least suspects that this child isn't well treated, and they do absolutely nothing to support her. In fact Tina's mum seems to send mixed messages by saying her children should be nicer but then tries to stop her daughter going around the home for dinner and trying to cut her out of a TV show - she seemed like a bit of a bully herself in all honesty. There's also the fact that Selma's bullying of Tina goes completely unpunished; I don't think the teacher even really reprimands her. This is a story of a triplet namely, Tina, Phil and Maddie. Phil and Maddie look identical but Tina looked a lot different. They are bigger and stronger than Tina. They both always took care of teeny tiny Tina. Tina has never been alone to any where, not even in the school. They were always together. Phil and Maddie thought that it is their responsibility to look after Tina and to protect her from the school bullies. This book did not have an appropriate ending. Wilson usually writes excellent books for children that contain serious issues such as parents going through divorce or children being neglected. Because of this her books can be read and enjoyed by adults also. The endings are always very real and there is always some hope that any children involved with bad circumstances get the help they need. so what does jacqueline wilson do? does she write her protagonist telling her own parents about the child abuse she's witnessed? do any of the adults in the situation think "that's not right" and try to help the abused seven year old? Jacqueline Wilson wrote her first novel when she was nine years old, and she has been writing ever since. She is now one of Britain's bestselling and most beloved children's authors. She has written over 100 books and is the creator of characters such as Tracy Beaker and Hetty Feather. More than forty million copies of her books have been sold.The Butterfly Club is about a girl called Tina who is a triplet. Her two sisters are called Phil and Maddie (short for Philippa and Madeleine). Tina is asked to create a butterfly garden in the school grounds by her teacher, Miss Lovejoy. But she has to do it with a mean, bossy bully called Selma. Over time, Tina and Selma become friends and they go round to each other's houses. However, when Tina goes to Selma's flat for tea one night, she finds out that Selma has a mean stepfather who shouts at and bullies her. Tina realises that that might be the reason why Selma was so bad to her earlier. The book does, however, have a really happy ending. With no minimum hire fee, free rehearsals, free front-of-house, free merch sales, and other assorted perks, the Club is a great place to get your work on stage without breaking the bank. As a rule I love Jacqueline Wilson books and virtually anything she writes, but sadly this isn't one that translates well when reading as an adult.
