Clover Moon
Publisher: Penguin
Clover Moon lives in a run-down back alley cottage with her five stepbrothers and sisters. They are often cold, hungry and dressed in ragged second-hand clothes, but Clover uses her vivid imagination to keep them all entertained as best she can.
Despite her surroundings, Clover has always dreamed about becoming someone special - she is just not sure who that might be. When she receives one beating too many from her evil stepmother, Clover decides she has had enough and sets off to find a future for herself.
Jacqueline Wilson has set her latest story in Victorian London, and the details of the squalor, poverty and dirt her characters live in are all too real. Clover is a brave, intelligent protagonist whose circumstances are holding her back. Her adventure out into the world is both funny and sad, ensuring it hooks readers right to the end.

This book was awesome and extremely intriguing. Jacqueline Wilson manages to amaze me once again. I love how she added Hetty Feather into a story of another Victorian girl, who have both met Sarah, and they both become friends.

This was actually the best book I've ever read. I'm about 11 and I just wanted to read it again. Right now, I am writing a book practically retelling the story in my own way. I loved listening to her struggles, heartbreaks and happiness. Even though she isn't real, I think of her as real. I know she finds happiness in Rose's home because I read Rose Rivers and what happens next. Love it!
