Review:
Glubbslyme, by the award-winning author of many bestselling titles, (including Double Act and The Suitcase Kid) is a light-hearted story of friendship and magic guaranteed to delight all imaginative 7-11 year olds. Rebecca's been rejected by her girlfriends, so when a 300-year-old magical toad offers to become her best friend things take a turn for the better. Instead of lipstick and little ponies Sarah becomes absorbed by learning to fly and casting spells on her horrid neighbour and beastly girlfriend. It all sounds great fun but having magical powers brings serious responsibilities when Glubbslyme encourages her to be as bad as her 17th-century namesake, the wicked witch, Rebecca Cockgoldde. Jacqueline Wilson's skillfull portrayal of the growing friendship between the bad tempered, pedantic, vain toad and the imaginative, lonely young girl is funny, wise and reassuring. The book is illustrated by Jane Cope with an eye-catching cover by Nick Sharratt. --Tamsin Palmer
