Vicky's old boyfriend Ryan Harper, the only halfway decent boy in Year Nine, comes up to me at break, warning me to stay away from the fences because the photographers are still there, gawping and flashing. She's still in her shocking pink leotard with someone else's too-big tracksuit trousers pulled on top for decency. I dance up and down the room until I catch sight of myself in the big mirror above the fireplace and see my own sad pale skinny self.

It is most certainly a book to remind us of what we have and the effect that death can have on a person – taking a realistic approach to grief despite the fictional aspect of Vicky being present in the book as a ghost.

Quiet, thin and reserved, everybody is surprised that Vicky chose sensible Jade to be her best friend. You'll have to talk to her later,” says the ambulance woman, and she helps me up beside Vicky in the van. We know it's so easy to get attached to a favourite author, and when their books are as good as Jacqueline Wilson's, it's no surprise that some children feel like they'll never find anything they love as much. She's asking me my name but I'm in such a muddle I give her Vicky's name instead, Vicky's address, as if Vicky has taken me over completely.In fact the last year she's done nothing but nag me about Vicky, telling me it was time I branched out and made some new friends. One of Jacqueline’s most successful and enduring creations has been the famous Tracy Beaker, who first appeared in 1991 in The Story of Tracy Beaker. Mum's always going on about these creepy guys who hang out round London railway stations and lure runaway teenage schoolgirls into a life of prostitution. She's quite clued up about worldwide religions but Vicky's not a Hindu or a Buddhist so she's unlikely to follow their teachings.

Jacqueline Wilson is the author of award-winning books, including The Suitcase Kid , The Lottie Project , Bad Girls , The Story of Tracy Beaker , Vicky Angel, and The Girls Quartet and she has won the Guardian Children’s Fiction Award, the Smarties Prize, and the Children’s Book Award for Double Act, which was also highly commended for the Carnegie Medal. One horrible day, Vicky is knocked down by a car and dies and naturally, Jade is absolutely devastated - until Vicky decides to pay her a visit as an an Whether Jade is in school, running, or tentatively trying to make new friends, Vicky makes her presence felt, and it’s not always a good thing. There are currently five books in the series, too, so plenty to get stuck into: Darcy Burdock, Hi So Much, Oh Obviously, Sorry About Me and Angrosaurus Rex. Matters come to a head during a long-anticipated class camping trip; after Maxwell catches Mark with a forbidden knife (a camp mate’s, as it turns out) and lowers the boom, Mark storms off into the woods.I've read it about five times and still can never get tired of how fierce, daring, and cold-hearted Vicky Waters is, and how weak, puny, and troubled Jade Marshall is. A far cry from traditional middle-grade fiction, this British import is an eye-opening but long-winded account of life in a dingy shelter hotel. My favourite character was Jade because she seems very kind and I would recommed this book to 10+ year olds. Jade's friend Vicky is an outgoing, spontaneous and fun-loving girl whilst Jade is very much the opposite and more like Vicky's sidekick.
