Jacqueline Dustbin Baby has written many amazing books, but Dustbin Baby has to be one of my favourites, especially for an older reader, and is a story I will never forget. April, the main character, is a lonely girl with a vivid imagination who struggles to fit in as she is haunted by her past. Without so much as a note or shawl, April was abandoned by her mother at birth and dumped in a nearby dustbin. Luckily, her constant cries which later gained her one of her nicknames April Showers was heard b Jacqueline Wilson has written many amazing books, but Dustbin Baby has to Dustbin Baby one of my favourites, especially for an older reader, and is a story I will never forget. Luckily, her constant cries which later gained her one of her nicknames April Showers was heard by the local pizza boy, Frankie, who saved her life. The reader is introduced to April on her 14th birthday, which happens to be on April 1st hence she adopted Dustbin Baby nickname April Fools. For her birthday she receives a pair of earrings from her old-fashioned foster mother Marion - not quite the present April had wished for. Still without a mobile phone, unlike her friends, April and Marion have a dispute and April storms out and sets off on a journey to meet her previous foster parents in order to discover more about her childhood. She was frequently bullied by another foster child until she eventually retaliated, landing the girl in hospital, and was later coerced into burglary. One question remains throughout, will she ever find her birth mother? In the final chapters of the book April finds the number of who she suspects to be her birth mother, however, later finds out that the number belongs to an excited Frankie who has been looking for her from the day she was taken away. This may not be the happy ending the reader wanted for April but is a happy ending nonetheless as April Dustbin Baby to the realisation of how grateful she is to have a wonderful foster mother, good friends and a new found relationship with Frankie. This Dustbin Baby is ideal for independent reading for older readers from the age of 10, as Jacqueline Dustbin Baby discusses many relatable issues such as crushes, fitting in, bullying and parental disputes. Readers are able to sympathise with the character and hope that in the end she will achieve what she set out to find and also get the answers to her questions. View 1 comment. Honestly, I forgot just how dark the Dustbin Baby for Dustbin Baby one was. After putting the book down from reading the last page, I was in Dustbin Baby shock. It's one of Jacky's more hard-hitting novels. Dustbin Baby follows young April, on her 14th birthday and wanting a mobile phone as a present from her foster Mum. Instead, she gets a pair of earrings and after rowing about them, she storms off and fails to show up for school. April decides to visit locations from her past, from her first ever foster home t Honestly, I forgot just how dark the story-line for this one was. April decides to visit locations from her past, from her first ever foster home to a graveyard and the area where she was abandoned as a baby. In a dustbin behind a pizza parlour. There are lots of throwbacks to her past, most were scary now reading it as an adult. The pacing was really quick but I'm still feeling a little I remember Dustbin Baby the movie though ages Dustbin Baby and enjoying it at the time. Wilson is really amazing with her orphaned little girl stories. Tracy Beaker was very good, too, and this is excellent. April makes sense as an abandoned girl, so much sense. This is a small book, a quick read, but really worth it, I promise. Mar 11, Lucy rated it liked it Shelves: standalones. This one was never one of my favorites and I think this Dustbin Baby the last Jacqueline Wilson book I ever read. I was quite a mature 11 year old and I felt I had already outgrown these books - I struggled with the was these books were written and I Dustbin Baby starting Dustbin Baby poke holes in the story-lines and writing. Personally I still don't think these books are that child friendly - but I can't say anything I was reading Stephen King at this age! Apr 18, Sophie Crane rated it it was amazing Shelves: Dustbin Baby. Dustbin Baby is about 14 year-old April who Dustbin Baby thrown away by her mother whem she was born. April spends 1 day trying to find her biological mother and her other foster mothers. April finds an old Dustbin Baby and some new ones. April always compares herself to her best friends Hannah and Cathy begging Marion her foster mother to get her a phone. I would definately recommend this story to all Jacqueline Wilson fans.

You can pick yourself up and get through the problem with the help of people who love you. I found Wilson's books a huge part of me growing up and helping to mature and transition from finding the world as a problem-free paradise to a world where no one is perfect, you see, her books like Cliffhanger Dustbin Baby you in because it's funny and you find there's a whole range of other books written by Jackie so you read and read and then books like Dustbin Baby hits you in the face and makes you cry Dustbin Baby you want to read more because you've never read a book that has made you cry Dustbin Baby so as you read more, the books' subjects gets Dustbin Baby and you grow up until you've read all of her books and you're ready for other books that will make you cry and laugh just as much as Wilson's books did when you were Writing this review makes me want to crey and hug April so hard and cradle her and tell her everything is going to be okay even though Dustbin Baby might be like 20 or something now.
