Product Description
From Amazon
Jacqueline Wilson's The Bed and Breakfast Star is read here in unabridged form by Josie Lawrence. Wilson is in fine form in this funny and moving story of a little girl who copes with her none-too-glamorous life by telling endless jokes and fantasising about being a comedian. As things go from bad to worse and Elsa and her family find themselves homeless, they have to move into the very un-regal Royal Hotel. But when disaster strikes at the hotel, Elsa gets her chance to be a real star.
Jacqueline Wilson lets the reader eavesdrop on Elsa's life, encouraging an intelligent understanding of her situation but never once suggesting that there might be a magic solution. Instead of letting pity in on the act, Wilson treats us to a realistic and sobering yet smart and entertaining story of a child doing the best she can in an unforgiving world where things are never really as they should be. The story is presented on three cassettes. --Susan Harrison --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Funny and fantastic.,
By Candy Smiles "Cotton" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bed And Breakfast Star (Paperback)
An incredible book about a thoughtful and funny 10 year old girl named Elsa who has to deal with her step-father Mack (who smacks her A LOT), two new siblings (Hank, and Pippa), and being known as "The bed and breakfast child". It's a hard life for a 10 year old but Elsa makes it through with all her jokes. She meets a gang of boys and Naomi at The Royal Hotel (not as luxurious as it sounds...), who help her through everything. Then, one very kate night when Elsa is feeling peckish, she crawls down to the filthy hotel kitchen and sees... FIRE! She wakes everyone up and saves many lives! She became a little child hero... and possibly a new comedienne too.

Review of The bed and breakfast star,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Bed and Breakfast Star (Audio Cassette)
I read this book when I was younger, and I absolutley loved it. I'm 15 now, and I still have to say this is probably the best book I have ever read. I love all the titles by Jaqueline Wilson, but this one is my favourite. Probably because this story covers all emotion. It is at times sad, but others very funny. The main character is great, and Jaqueline Wilson captures the emotion perfectly. You can see the character clearly in your head. If this is an adult reading this review, considering buying it for a child, do! This is an excellent book, and even if your child does not like reading they will find it very hard to put this book down!

A fabulous read,
By kelley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Bed and Breakfast Star (Audio Cassette)
I read this book at age 9 and couldn't put it down. This book is perfect for girls ages 7-10 who still have yet to master the art of reading. The story is about a girl who's parents are separated and she moves around very often. She is so witty and good- natured that she finds an adventure in every move she makes. The illistrations are simple and yet unique and I would recommend this book to any girl, around the age of 7-10.

Fantastic Book...,
By Nicole Powell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Bed and Breakfast Star (Paperback)
I am 24 now, but I read this book when I was 10. I absolutely loved it! I also got a chance to meet Jacqueline Wilson and she is wonderful! She read an excerpt from her book "Cliff hanger". That is what made me want to buy the book. It has a lot of situations that many young girls and boys have gone through, including myself. The book shows a girl that becomes a heroine however, there is one small detail that impresses me more. It shows a girl trying to make the most of what her family has at the moment. It certainly opened up my eyes and appreciate what I had. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone younger than 10 because of certain situations they may not understand at that age. Great read! Highly recommend for ages 10 and up.
