i think this book is purely amazing.I have only read it recently but i can quote that "this book is a fact of life the words are really true, some unfortunate children go through family divorces which can be very challenging".I loved the way it was structured and would change nothing if given the chance.the tittle was a little confusing at first I thought it was about a homeless person but that is the true art about tittles,they leave you on the edge.The nicknames given are amusing; eg. king...

Written on: 23/11/2010
I thought the "Suitcase Kid" was a very true story because it puts you in someone else's shoes.The book makes you think twice about how lucky you are, not to been split up having you'r parents separeted, having two new families and if you're lucky maybe you could be the only child on one family.If I was in Andy's postion I wouldn't be able to sstand it and having to share a room with Katie (her mom's new familes daughter)or with the two others on her dad's side. I think this book is truly... (read more)

I loved this book. It expresses lots of feelings. My favorite character is Andy. At my school (st.mary's and Benedict's r.e primary school) the year 5 and 6 have been reading this book. In school book week we had to dress up as a character from the story. I chose Andy because my mum and dad split up in 2002 and I felt the same way. I would very highly recommend this book to people who are going through the same thing as what I and Andy have been through. I would read this book over and over... (read more)

Written on: 13/03/2002 by lor.
The Suitcase Kid by Jacqueline Wilson was a really emotional story and easy to relate to if you are going throught the same thing as Andrea. I loved reading it as the characters made me laugh and i felt what they were going through and could see it from all the characters point of view. What i can relate most is Andrea being teased by Katey as my step sister treats me the same way. I also knows how she feels about her stepfather and her stepmother as i also feel they are both trying to... (read more)
