About this ebook

Marty and her sister Melissa couldn't be more different.

"That's the worst thing about my sister. She NEVER misses a chance to wind me up."

Football-mad Marty loves her Converse and helping her dad with his DIY. Melissa, however, loves all things pink and girly.

So it comes as no surprise that when they have to share a bedroom, Marty and Melissa struggle to get along.

But all that changes after a terrible accident, which helps the sisters realise they are closer than they thought...

From bestselling author Jacqueline Wilson, The Worst Thing About My Sister explores sibling rivalry and the importance of family.

The Worst Thing About My Sister is full of fun, frolics and little pearls of wisdom. Here she focuses on that old family chestnut - sibling rivalry - and gives quarrelling sisters plenty of food for thought - Blackpool Gazette

I loved this book, thought it would be girly, but no, its from a tomboys point of view. I am a certified tomboy but I love JW book so gave book a try. About a very imaginative girl, Marty, who has an extremely girly sister. She cannot stand her! But the girls must share a room soon, and when there is a tragic accident Marty tries to make it a bit better for her sister Melissa.

This is a really good book. I suggest is to a 7-9 year old BUT the prices for this are a bit expensive and in shops a few days from now it would be cheaper but for now £6 is too high for a book that finishes in 1-2hrs.
