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
