Author: Jacqueline Wilson
Description:
When Jayni, her mum and little brother have to run away from her abusive father, it starts off as a big adventure. They slip out at night, go up to London by train and stay in a hotel. They even make up false identities to protect their secret and Jayni becomes the glamorous-sounding Lola Rose. But when the money runs out and reality bites, is it still a game they should play? Another brilliantly crafted story of real family life from the prize-winning, children's favourite, Jacqueline Wilson. From the Back Cover When life at home suddenly gets really frightening, Jayni, her mum and her little brother Kenny have to pack their bags and escape in the middle of the night. They also have to choose new names – and so Jayni becomes the glamorous, grown-up Lola Rose! But Lola Rose’s new life isn’t quite as wonderful as her new name. And when Mum has to go into hospital, Lola Rose is forced to be much more grown up than she really feels.
