"It's better to laugh than cry right?"

 

Miss Skinner here reading Jelly with you! 

I'll let you in to a little secret... I loved this book so much I couldn't put it down!

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it too. I will upload my thoughts and some questions for you to answer in the comments (but remember - no spoilers! We don't all read at the same speed). 

 

Angelica – Jelly for short – is the ‘Funny One’ at school, known for her clever impressions and comedy sketches. But being funny is a fine line and behind all the humour, Jelly’s hiding anxieties about her weight. If they’re laughing with her, they’re not laughing at her, right? And she has another secret too, a secret hobby: writing poetry. Into this she channels all her worries. Nobody knows, not even her mum, and as far as Jelly’s concerned, nobody can ever know. Then her mum gets a lovely new boyfriend who encourages Jelly to show the world the real her. Can she find the courage she needs to stop hiding?

Question: What is your first impression of the book? What did you first think of the book?

My thoughts...

I wonder why she doesn't get into trouble when she is caught imitating her teacher...

I wonder what she is going to do in The K Factor...

Questions: What was your favourite ever Hannah More's Got Talent act?

Which of the 3 best friends (Jelly, Sanvi & Kayma) do you think you are most similar to and why? 

Let me know your thoughts and the answers to these questions in the comments! I can't wait to see what you think!
