★★★★★

written by on 23/03/2011

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 sized rat and billy baboon.I recommend this to a person who has the time to read, a person who likes a adventure, journey, survival or just a good book to read!

★★★★★

written by on 07/03/2011

i think that the suitcase kid is very good. when i read the first chapter i thought that radish was a real rabit lol.but then i realized that you cant but a rabit in a shoe box.this book reminded me that i was not the only ones parent who was not married and that told me that i was not soo different than ev erybody else( but really i was ). my favourite part was when ????? i cant really decide. jackline wilson is an amazing writer and you should really read all her books . i would not find her books lying around . before i bought this book i did not know what was going to happen in the first chapter ,honstly i thought that the girl was homeless what was i thinking.

★★★★★

written by 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 amzing.I would recomend this book to everyone :)

★★★★★

written by little miss emmie on 04/10/2009

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 again because that is how good it is. I also think that Radish held a lot of feelings throughout the story even though most of them where Andy's feelings I believe that Radish had lots to say if she could talk. Just like when Katie wanted to keep the t.v on all night because she thought that she would die just like her mum. At this point I also think that Radish wanted to go to sleep as well as Andy. I really, really, really enjoyed this book so thank you Jacqueline Wilson. xxx

Grat fantastic love it! I like the idea of a child and it's parents splitting up I like stories that are about things like that and in the story mum goes of with that bill person and it's funny how Andy calls him bill the baboon and I resd that book everday at SCHOOL! I think that in the story Andy could be a little bit nicer to her stepbrothers and sisters.

written by samantha ross on 04/11/2007

This book is was about a girl who's parents split and her mum and dad live with some one else. Andrea's mum and dad went to counselling. The woman took Andrea to her office and the woman made a house out of blocks and said "which house would you like to live house a or house b" and Andrea said "house c Mullberry Cottage". One day she was walking home from school and she climbed over the fence at her old house garden and climbed up the mullbery tree and lost her toy pet called Raddish. When she came home her mum and stepdad said "Where have you been Andrea?" she said "I lost Raddish" and was crying. That night she snuck out and tried to find Raddish but could not find him and fell asleep under the mullberry tree. She dreamt her parents were back together in Mullberry cottage. In the end her dads wife had a baby called Zoe. And she felt very happy.

“Setting ”

★★★★★

written by hotty on 12/10/2003

Setting
The story takes place in 3 main places
1.Mulerry cottage
2. Bill Baboons house
3. Carries flat

The two main ones really are Carries flat and Bills house because
they moved out of Mulberry cottage when Andys mom and dad split up
But it andy mentions Mulberry cottage LOTS in the story.

Plot
The story begins when Andys mom and dad decide to split up
Andy is not very happy about this because she loves living there
She says how they first found the house and how they fell in love with it.

Andys mom moves in with Bill he has 3 kids katey, Graham, and Paula

Andys dad move in with Carrie she has twins Crystal and Zen.

The ending was unusual when she wanted to call the baby Ethel but when
She was born she liked her so she called her Zoe and Andy isn't all happy again but she is happy also she started to accept the fact that her mom and dad wern't going to get back together again and she might never go and live back at Mulberry cottage.

Characters.
The main characters are:
Andy
Andys mom & dad
Bill & Carrie
Katey Graham Paula
Crystal & Zen

I think the most interesting character was:
Carrie because she was all healthy and and didn't let the kids have sweets!

Themes
At the start all the boys thought it was going to be a girls book and they were right
But most of the boys either liked of or didn't like it nearly all the girls injoyed it because I think it was based around girls.

General
The Suitcase Kid by Jacqueline Wilson was a really emotional story and easy to relate to if you are going through the same thing as Andrea.
