The characters in the story are crafted very thoughtfully. Mrs. Lovejoy is my favorite character in the story. In the beginning, I hated her for being so strict with students. She didn't give permission to triplet to seat together but as I read further, I understood Mrs. Lovejoy better. She has a purpose to it. In the beginning, I felt that the story was moving at a slow pace but later on it became very interesting.

This is the first book in the series of The Butterfly Club, and introduces the three main characters who become time travellers. It is a fantastic adv... The linking in of Ruby and Garnet Baker (Double Act) is just FANTASTIC. I was beyond ecstatic to discover this story within a story, and to find out what happened to the characters of the book I read all those years ago.Huge stories on a tiny stage! Watch as some of Melbourne's bravest theatremakers use every ounce of writing prowess to tell their stories. Play & Explore Club is for children & young people ages 5-19 years who require a less structured environment. In 2009 we expanded to Abbeyfeale where a club was set up. This meant that children from the locality didn't have to travel to Rathkeale, they were able to attend the club in Abbeyfeale. It also frees up spaces in the Rathkeale club so that new children can join in both Rathkeale and Abbeyfeale.

In 2004 we started with 3 groups based in Coláiste na Trócaire, Rathkeale. Each group had it's own Saturday each month. When Croí na nÓg was built we moved our club into it. 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. i feel like you can tell my mental health state by how many jacqueline wilson books i read in a row (and the age demographic they're meant for) We have recognised that some children and families feel more comfortable by attending sessions as a family due to a wide range of reasons. So we will be running a family events in the following areas throughout the year: Tina dosen't have a confidence that she can do things on her own. She was also feeling lonely as Phil and Maddy made friends on their tables. Mrs. Lovejoy, their new class teacher separated them. She made them seat on three different tables. Tina was made to sit with Selma, a bully in the class, along with four other kids who were stronger than her.

Jacqueline is also a great reader, and has amassed over 20,000 books, along with her famous collection of silver rings. Tina Maynard - The main character of The Butterfly Club book. She is the smallest out of her sisters, due to a weak heart, and had to stay in hospital for a few days after she had been born. Tina is not encouraged to do sports because of her illness, so she often feels left out. Tina has a special china doll called Baby, who Selma the bully stole and kept to herself. The Butterfly Club is a really good book and a really good story on making new friends. With some nice and mean characters. It is a really good animal story too with lots of illustrations. But will small Tina be able to cope with mean Selma and Kay-Leigh, will Mrs Lovejoy easy down on Tina or will she just have to fend for herself for the next year. Let me tell you, when I got to THAT bit near the end where I realised the crossover between this and one of JW's earlier books... I got very nerdily excited about all of the characters existing in the same JW universe! I don't exactly know why this surprises and delights me so much; maybe because I've been on such a journey with her books in the last 6 months and to see a connection made between 2 books written by JW 20 years apart felt really lovely. To see these 2 other characters flourishing in adulthood was just wonderful, and the way they've supported Tina in this too.

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?
