Amazon.co.uk Review
Jacqueline Wilson is in fine form in this funny and moving story of a little girl who copes with her none-too-glamourous life by telling endless jokes and fantasising about being a comedian. As things go from bad to worse and Elsa and her family find themselves homeless, they have to move into the very un-royal Royal Hotel. But when disaster strikes at the hotel, Elsa gets her chance to be a real star.

Jacqueline Wilson lets the reader eavesdrop on Elsa¹s life, encouraging an intelligent understanding of her situation but never once suggesting that there might be a magic solution. Instead of letting pity in on the act, Wilson treats us to a realistic and sobering, yet at the same time smart and entertaining, story of a child doing the best she can in an unforgiving world where things are never really as they should be. --Susan Harrison

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: Great book!!!, 13 Jan 2008 By  Mehajabeen Farid "Mej" (Coventry) - See all my reviews Characters: Elsa, Pippa (her step sister), Hank (her step baby brother), Mack (her step dad), Mum and Naomi are the main characters but people like the manager of the hotel and other guests at the hotel are side characters. The other characters are the TV crew. Plot: Elsa and her family get so poor that they have to stay at a special hotel which is called the Royal Hotel but isn't very posh at all. One day a TV crew come to film some of the children for a charity show about poor children and their families. Elsa is very talkative and the cast get tired of her so they ask her about her friends. She goes and gets her best friend, Naomi, to be interview but Naomi's family won't talk to Elsa because they are told to leave the hotel all as the interview made the hotel sound bad (even though it was terrible) at the end Elsa becomes a hero. Favourite part: I think it was funny when she tells jokes to some people who like them and become her friend. Worst Part: I think the worst part is when Elsa starts writing jokes all over the lavatory walls about her step dad and doesn't own up to the owner of the hotel. For: This book is for 9 - 12 year olds because it might upset little children with the smacking and hitting and some of the words are quite mild.   3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: A good read, 16 Jul 2004 By  "raj6081" - See all my reviews This is an excellent book with vibrant vocabulary and choice of words. Elsa has to put up with her step dad, Mac the smacker, her mum, her sister Pippa and brother Hank. Its about Mac who gained a brilliant job so Elsa and her family move into a nice, lovely house. Eventually Mac looses it and they had to move into a bed and Breakfast. Elsa is a joker and likes to tell jokes but never gets a good response. A Great read before bed and readers between 9 and 12 years of age will enjoy it the most.   2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Fab, 29 Jul 2006 By  Issam Ikirmawi "Bluetigerstar99" (London, England) - See all my reviews    All three of my kids loved this!
