LitPick Review
Floss, lives a fabulous life, she resides with her mother, step father and half brother Tiger. She enjoys visiting her real dad at his run-down restaurant every weekend. Her only concerns are at school. She has some problems with her peers. Floss wants to impress the popular, snotty girls, in order to feel accepted. Subsequently, she realizes that there are more important things to think about. For example, she might not see her dad for another year, because her step father accepted a promotion in Australia! (That's half way across the world, from her home.) Floss doesn't want to leave behind her friends, and memories. (How is she going to break the news to her dad?)
Opinion:
I thought that Candyfloss was a fun and easy read. I think Jacqueline Wilson is a witty author. I thought that it was clever the way she incorporated American and English slang sayings into the book. (Some people say slow poke, and others say slow coach.) A few things that I wasn't too fond of were the attitudes of the characters, some of the plot was lacking, and sometimes the book was not very realistic. Other than that, I loved Candyfloss.
