Margot – Rhiannon's best friend. Along with Judy and Rhiannon she bullies Floss and calls her smelly chip. Margot is described by having "such a flat tummy" according to Rhiannon and she likes to speak in a fake American accent. Jacqueline is one of the nation’s favourite authors, and her books are loved and cherished by young readers not only in the UK but all over the world. She has sold millions of books and in the UK alone the total now stands at over 35 million! Her dad is not perfect, and she has trouble waking up on time and going to school with proper attire. People in her school think that her mother walked out on her. Now, for Floss's school life. Floss is Rhiannon's best friend, who is the most popular and the prettiest girl in the class. Rhiannon loves teasing people, especially the new girl, Susan Potts, as 'Swotty Potty' just because she is brainy. Floss likes to be Rhiannon's best friend, because of her popularity and she feels special because many people want to be Rhiannon's friend (including Margot), but she only hopes that Rhiannon wouldn't tease people. She really likes Susan and wants to be her friend.

Floss is a girl, who is kind, playful, loving, caring, and she has soo many good qualities that I can't even name. Her age wasn't exactly mentioned, but I assume she's 10/11 y-o. She gives us no effort to fall in love with her! She also loves her parents, like anything. 🤩 Saul – Rose's son. He also has a girlfriend called Jenny. Charlie saved him from a fight outside of the chip van.This tension paces a novel that contains many compelling, sometimes gritty, elements . . . Floss's emotional turmoil should hook girls.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Steve Westwood – Sally's husband, Tiger's father and Floss's stepfather. He gets a job offer in Australia in the beginning of the book, where him and the family get to stay there for 6 months while he works. Floss decides to stay with her father. It is implied that Charlie is jealous of Steve.

Khas karya Jacqueline Wilson, menampilkan anak-anak yang bertahan di tengah keluarga yang terpecah. Floss ikut ibunya selama enam hari, dan di akhir pekan menghabiskan waktu di rumah ayahnya, yang merangkap cafe. Masalah timbul ketika ibunya mau pindah ke Australia bersama suami barunya dan bayi mereka. Tentu Floss diajak, tapi ia menolak karena merasa ayahnya ngga punya siapa-siapa lagi kalau dia pindah sejauh itu. Anak-anak memang seperti itu ya, di satu sisi banyak yang mereka belum tahu dan belum paham, tapi di sisi lain banyak juga hal-hal yang mereka rasakan, yang kadang hilang dan terlupakan setelah dewasa. Orang dewasa akan memikirkan yang "praktis" dan yang "terbaik". Kurang baik apa kalau Floss ikut pindah. Bahkan ayahnya pun setuju. Floss bisa punya rumah dan keluarga komplit, si suami baru ibunya punya pekerjaan bagus dan sayang juga ke dia. Sementara cafe ayahnya terancam bangkrut dan si ayah terjerat utang. Kekeraskepalaan bocah ini sulit dimengerti oleh orang-orang di sekitarnya, dan momen paling 'menghancurkan' adalah ketika si ibu dan Floss bertengkar sambil menangis. Sama-sama tidak mau berpisah, sama-sama saling sayang, tapi menurut Floss, ibunya sudah punya orang-orang yang menyayanginya, sementara ayahnya bakalan sendirian. Dia memilih hidup bersama si ayah, hidup yang mendadak jadi kacau-balau, serba ngga pasti, dan terancam diusir karena cafe-nya dijadikan jaminan bank. Floss convinces Sally that she can live with Charlie, while they are in Australia. Floss has a tough time getting used to life without her mother since her father is not used to taking care of Floss seven days a week and she is not used to his home seven days a week, either. Floss's school uniforms get dirtier and disarrayed as Charlie is not used to washing and ironing them, but her teacher, Mrs. Horsefield, helps her out, as Floss is one of her personal favorite students. The father and daughter learn to cope and meet Rose, a very caring woman who works at a fair. After Rose leaves (traveling with the fair), they keep an eye out for her at the fair. Meanwhile, a regular customer at the café Billy the Chip puts money on a horse that Floss selects, and he wins money on the horse. Floss, a young British girl, is torn between her divorced parents. She lives with her mother, stepdad, and baby half-brother, Tiger, and visits her dad who owns a greasy-spoon cafe on the weekends. When her mother tells her they are moving to Australia for 6 months, Floss is torn. She doesn't want to leave her dad all alone. Floss was a very sweet and sympathetic character. She was also very guileless as well as sensitive to everyone's feelings. She chooses to stay with her dad even though he is not the best at looking after himself much less his daughter. Her dad is very playful and gregarious despite his practical short-comings. Her mother doesn't understand why Floss would want to stay with her dad in his smelly money-losing cafe rather than go to Australia and live with them. Each chapter started out with a set of drawings (presumably made by Floss) that provided a bit of visual foreshadowing on the chapter to come. Mrs Horsefield – Floss and Susan's kindly teacher, who does her best to support Floss and her father throughout the book. She eventually admits that Floss and Susan are her favourite pupils.I always enjoy a Jacqueline Wilson book and this one is no exception! Floss is such a lovely character. She chooses to stay in England with her dad, while her mum moves to Australia with her new partner Steve and their young son for six months. Personally, I thought that this book was amazing. The best part of the book is when floss and her dad meet the fairground lady, Rose. I found myself being really angry with Floss's mum, no kid should be forced to chose and unless there is a good reason for it, kids should always have access to both parents.

But, the problem is, her parents split up. Her father owns a cafe, that used to be popular for its 'Chip Butties'. But now, there are only three regular customers. He is the sweetest fictional father!

Tapi pikiranku mandek di bagian yang ta' spoiler itu... Ini buku anak-anak, apa perasaan anak yang hidupnya normal ketika membaca ini? Gimana perasaan anak yang terhubung dengan hal serupa ketika membacanya? Padahal sudah ada beberapa karya Ms. Wilson yang serupa yang ta' baca, tapi entah kenapa, adegan tadi terasa memukul kuat.Floss decides to stay with her dad as she doesn't want to leave him all alone. This causes upset for her mum but not enough for her to stay with Floss. Predictably off she goes with Steve. I like the imagination that has been put into the characters, it sutis them because of the sort of situations that they are in.

Jacqueline Wilson wrote her first novel when she was nine years old, and she has been writing ever since. She is now one of Britain's bestselling and most beloved children's authors.

About Jacqueline Wilson

Book Genre: Childrens, Contemporary, Family, Fiction, Juvenile, Middle Grade, Novels, Realistic Fiction, Teen, Young Adult I also felt really sad about what she was going through at school, been there. School seems endless at that age. Rhiannon was a nasty piece of work. I've known a few girls like that, think they have them at every school. In between, Floss changes her life - and friends - on the way. The ending was really, really nice, though I want to know what happens to Floss and her mother. If I depend on my imaginations, it won't work out!! Wilson, tell me!!! Now, believe me, even though I know that her mother didn't walk out on her, it was totally not considerate of her to go and marry Steve, without thinking of Floss. She may have asked her how she feels, but poor Floss would have said it's okay! Her mother should have tried to be in Floss's shoes, at least!😣
