The Lottie Project

Summary: A fun read
Review: Charlie Enright is happy with the way things are. She and her mum Jo live in their little apartment and Charlie is looking forward to the new school year with her friends Lisa and Angela. Then the new teacher, Miss Beckworth, insists on calling her Charlotte, and on making her sit next to Jamie Edwards, the drippiest boy in school. To make matters even worse, Miss Beckworth, who doesn't seem to have a humerous bone in her body, has assigned all the class to do a project on the Victorians, Yuck! What was going to be a great school year is turning out to be perfectly wretched. When Jo comes home with news of changes in her job, and Charlie feels her life is spinning out of control. This delightful book follows the changes in Charlie's life as she tries to get her Victorian project done, cope with her friends growing up and beginning to like boys (Yuck), and endures Miss Beckworth. There is even a delightful story within the story. I couldn't wait to see what happened next and how Charlie would manage to cope. A great book about growing up and changes.

Summary: Lottie Project-what a book!!!
Review: I have read many books from Jacqueline Wilson, and have admired her ability to express how kids feel, what they want. This is all true. Being a kid, i have lots of friends that match those in the story. This book, Lottie Project, is one of my favourite books she wrote. I know how it feels to be forced to write a project, but i have never wrote a project, that like Charlotte's, matches my own daily life.
In school, i have just learnt about the Victorians, and told my teacher, Miss Battram, about the book. She too admitts that it is a good book and should be added into the Victorian learning program for year 5 next year.
Everyone can see that Jacqueline Wilson has shown us how an 11year old girl's life can be similar to a maid in the Victorian times, and how they coped with it.
This book is really great for everyone to read, maybe single parents should take a peek in this book too as it will tell single parents how their child feels when they start dating someone else. then, they can talk it through with their child, so mistakes like in Lottie Project, that Charlotte Enright had to cope with, will not happen.
Furthermore, this book is very good to be used in Victorian sessions in school, seeing as the book is very funny, and still useful in teaching about a 11 year old girl's life in the Victorian times.

Summary: Read it NOW!!!
Review: I have to say, I LOVE this book!! It's funny while facing hard problems. While Lottie and her mom are usually two peas in a pod, her mom gets a boyfriend. Outspoken and funny Lottie is not happy about this! The subplot of this book is that she makes a journal of a victorian slave girl named charlotte. I loved this book, and all girls ages 9 and up should definately give it a try!!!

Summary: A Wonderful Favorite!
Review: I really enjoyed the book and recommend this book to all. This is an 'easy-peasy' (as described by the Lottie). This girl is so charming in her very own way and very much an example for adults to be truthful about yourselves and to express your feeling freely without hypocrasy.

Summary: The Best Book in the World!
Review: The Lottie Project is a brilliant book about a girl, Charlie (don't ever call her Charlotte!), who lives in England. She's never met her father, her very young mother, Jo, has lost her job, and is now working as a cleaner, plus, she's stuck next to Jamie Edwards in class, a posh teacher's pet who she can't stand! Then Jo gets a really nerdy boyfriend, and Charlie's class study the Victorian Period. So, she begins to write a diary about a nursery maid named Lottie. As events occur, she writes them into the diary. Why should you get this book? Because it's just plain cool! In the words of Charlie, easy-peasy simple-pimple!

Summary: A Wonderful Favorite!
Review: This is definitely one of my favorite books. I guess sixth graders will enjoy it most, but parents will also enjoy it too. Jacqueline Wilson really knows how to get into the world of 11-year-olds.

Charlie Enright has a lot of problems at school. Her new teacher is strict and mean. She assigns the sixth-graders a Victorian project right at the beginning of the year. Also, she makes Charlie sit next to Jamie Edwards, which Charlie isn't sure she likes or hates.

She also is having problems with her friends. They have abandoned the 'We Hate Boys Club' and are now very interested in boys and not paying much attention to her.

And her home lifes not that wonderful either. Her single mother has just lost her job, but she finds another one quickly. It turns out that she has fallen in love with her boss and Charlie has got to stop her. Somehow. Someway.

Will Charlie's problems ever end? Read this great book to find out!
