Synopsis
Pearl and Jodie are sisters. Pearl is the quiet, cautious, studious younger sister. Jodie is bold and brash and bad - but Pearl adores her anyway. When their parents get new jobs as the cook and caretaker at a fusty old boarding school, the girls have to move there and spend their summer holidays in the school with just a few children and staff for company. And when they arrive, things start to change. Jodie has always been the leader - but now it's Pearl who's making new friends like the amazingly tall, badger-watching Harley and Mrs Wilberforce, the wife of the Head who's confined to a wheelchair after an accident but introduces Pearl to wonderful new books.Jodie just seems to be getting into more and more trouble - arguing with Mum, scaring the little children, flirting with the gardener...When term begins, their strange summer is over. But things keep on changing. Jodie really doesn't fit in with the posh teenagers at the school. But Pearl is doing well in lessons and has even more friends. Maybe she doesn't need Jodie as much as she used to. But Jodie needs her.

And when the school celebrations of Firework Night come around and a tragic event occurs, Pearl realises quite how much she does need her big sister...

My sister Jodie
I read this book and it was fabulose she described the charecters very good and made them come real, but it was a VERY trajic ending i was so sad i almost cried

I read the book in less than 24 hours about 12 hours
I would reckomend this book for the older age group but in a way it encourages kids to be like Jodie.
Still it was a good,funy,sad book you should read it.

My Sister Jodie
This book was very well written. Its main characters are the Wells family and the based around them and their move to the country.
It follows their lives as they settle into their new school and describes the friends that they make and the different adventures that they have. The story ends on a brighter note though with one of the sisters Pearl discovering that she is going to have another sister.
I really enjoyed this book. I think it would appeal more to girls as it is written about two sisters.
