Lizzie Zipmouth [ペーパーバック]

Lizzie isn’t speaking to her new stepfamily -- she’s a stubborn zipmouth -- until she meets a member of the new family who is even more determined than she is.

In this short, lively novel from mega-selling author, Jacqueline Wilson, Lizzie has zipped up her mouth. She’s totally fed up at having to join a new family and nothing can coax her into speaking to them. Not football, not pizza, not a new bedroom. That is, until she meets Great-Gran, who is even more stubborn than her -- and has had a lot more practice.

Sophie Aldred reads Jacqueline Wilson's Lizzie Zipmouth in this unabridged single-cassette audio book.

Lizzie refuses to speak. It's as if she has a zip across her mouth. She doesn't want to talk to anyone, especially her new stepbrothers and their dad. She certainly doesn't feel like talking to her mum. Then one day a member of her new family turns out to be even more stubborn than Lizzie, and things begin to change...

Jacqueline Wilson strikes hard, fast and funny in this deceptively simple story for young children. Her characters are strong and memorable, the writing is superb and the storytelling is captivating enough to lure the most reluctant of listeners.

This tale of a young girl coming to terms with her parents' divorce and her new identity as a stepchild is a mini-masterpiece. Although it's aimed at younger children it can be enjoyed by any Wilson fan. And rest assured--if anyone can keep a child hooked, it is Jacqueline Wilson. Be prepared to find yourself forking out for everything by this extraordinary author. Running time is 50 minutes. --Susan Harrison --このテキストは、絶版本またはこのタイトルには設定されていない版型に関連付けられています。
