I absolutely loved this book. It's full of ups and downs, parties, trips out, fun and fallouts. My favourite character is Mona because she is just so fun and has lots of adventures. I would recommend this book to anyone 8+.

It was really interesting, Mona was a fun character with a desire to know more, she made me want to know more too. And the twist at the end was unexpected but cool. I’d recommend it.

It was a very lovely book with a brilliant dialogue with it. Full of emotions and people of different characteristics. My favorite character is sixpence the kitten who was really cute and funny. Recommend to people who like traditional dancing and stories of big families who have adventures together. Children from 8 to 11 should read this book. It was a very enjoyable read and other people will like it too.

It was fine initially, but at the end it was quite annoying as it was a hanger ending. I do not like cliffhangers It was not ended properly

My favourite character was obviously Mona. I would definitely recommend it. I like it at the end because it was very interesting because they go to London and then mona's pretend mum who she thought was her Aunty reveals she is actually her mum.

It was very good and i enjoyed reading. It was quite a shock at the end, but i love it when Jaqueline Wilson adds other characters from other books she has written

I loved this book as it shows how people can love each other without knowing.But sometimes keeping a deep secret,like not telling Mona about her real mother is not a good idea.
