Vicky Angel by Jacqueline Wilson
3.0
This book is for years 8+ and deals with the issues of death, grief and moving on.
Jade loses her best friend and sidekick as they are walking home from school and having an argument that Vicky always gets her way. They never do anything that Jade wants.
But Jade can't move on to make new friends and she keeps seeing the ghost of Vicky who is not very pleasant.
Fatboy Sam is a lovely character who doesn't give up, even though at times she is really mean to him.
I'm not sure we really needed the dysfunctional parents added into the story making things harder for poor Jade.
I never picked up the Jacqueline Wilson books up as a kid and am only reading them as part of the big read, but I don't think They would have been my kind of books back them either.
