ジャクリーン・ウィルソンって普通の子(主人公は大体女の子)が普通でない境遇である場合を凄く親しみやすく共感が持てるように書いていて、いつも上手いなぁと感心してしまいます。この物語もあれこれハラハラ心配したり共感を覚えたりしながら、一気に読めました。
離婚した両親がそれぞれべつのパートナーと結婚して家庭を持ち、その間を一週間毎に行ったり来たりなんて、普通なら耐えられない状況かもしれませんが、このアンドレアはそれなりに逞しくというと言いすぎだけれど何とかやっていっている・・・。でも、嫌なことは色々あるんだよね。それが、子供同士とか大人との会話を中心にして、生き生きと描かれていて、シリアスなのにどこかユーモラスだったりしますね。また、会話の英語が、いわゆる現代のその年頃の子が使うような言葉で興味深かったです。
子供には子供の逃げ道というか、ここでは兎のマスコットがその役割を果たしていると思いました。両親もやれやれと思いつつ彼女のマスコットに一応理解を示しているのは、彼女への愛情ゆえだと思う。子供にとって何が大切な物かをわかっていることはとても重要なことだと思いました。
両親それぞれが家庭を持っても、互いが子供への愛情を失わず、またそれを彼女へ表しているところにほっとさせられます。それと、アンドレアがそれぞれの新しい家庭の子供たちの内面的な秘密を知って、見方が変わったりするのも印象に残りました。
彼女が切に望むように、もとの家に両親と共に以前のように住むことはもう叶わないんだなと思うと、こちらまで切なくなるけれど、この本には新しい状況に向かって何とか前進するヒントのようなものが感じられました。

When Andy West's parents get divorced, the plucky 10-year-old is left without a home to call her own. Both her parents have remarried, and Andy finds herself shuttling back and forth between their houses--one week with Mom and "Bill the Baboon," one week with Dad and Carrie. Living out of a suitcase is tough, but having five new stepbrothers and stepsisters is even tougher.
Her parents say Andy should be happy to have two wonderful new families. But Andy wants her old family back. She wants to live with her Mom and Dad in their beloved Mulberry Cottage. Andy knows that's not going to happen, though, because real life isn't a fairy tale.

抜粋
When my parents split up they didn't krow what to do with me. My mom wanted me to go and live with her. My dad wanted me to go and live with him. I didn't want to go and live at my mom's new place or my dad's new place. I wanted to stay living in our old place, Mulberry Cottage, the three of us together. Four, counting my lucky mascot toy rabbit, Radish.
There were all these arguments about who would get custody of me. I thought they were talking about custard at first. I hate custard because you can never tell when there's going to be lump and it sticks in your throat and makes you shudder.
My mom got mad and my dad got mad and I got mad too. I felt I was being split up. Half of me wanted to side with Mom. Half of me wanted to side with Dad. It was much easier for Radish. She just sided with me. She lives in my pocket so there's never been any hassle over who gets custody of her.
We had to go for family counseling. It seemed a bit stupid because my mom and dad didn't want to be a family anymore. This lady chatted to me. She was trying to be ever so casual but I knew she was trying to figure things out. She had some little dolls in her office, a mommy doll and a daddy doll and a whole set of children dolls in different sizes. She wanted me to play with them. I poked the mommy doll and the daddy doll in the stomachs and said I didn't like playing with silly old dolls.
But this lady saw me fiddling around in my pocket and she got a glimpse of Radish. I like to hold Radish tight when I'm feeling funny.
"Oh, what a dear little toy. Let me have a look," she said, in that silly voice grown-ups always use when they're trying to get you to like them.
"She's not a toy, she's a mascot," I said. I didn't want to show her Radish at all. She's mine and she's private. But I had to let this lady paw at her and undo her dress and turn her upside down, in a very rude sort of way.
"What's Bunny's name?" she asked.
You'd have thought I was two years old, not ten. Ijust shrugged and shook my head.

A story with heart and a positive message
2019年5月29日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This was my favourite Jacqueline Wilson book as a child and I purchased it again to share with my own children. This is the story of Andy whose parents have separated and she is adjusting to her new life with two homes, step parents and step siblings while mourning the loss of her family home and life before the divorce. Andy's behaviour and feelings are truthful, realistic and very relatable to a child in a similar situation or who fears being in that position. The book has a positive message about embracing change without ever coming across as too forceful or naive. This book made me want my own Radish as a child. I still do!

Not appropriate for 9-11 year olds
2021年5月13日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
As much as my daughter who is 9 loves reading Jacqueline Wilson books, even she was applaud by the language used in the book. The word "slut" is not appropriate for 9-11 year-old IMHO

I bought this book for my 11 year old daughter. We love Jacqueline Wilson and often read the books together at bedtime. She's an avid reader and read this book in no time at all. It's a well written book and helpful for children to understand that they're not the only one's adjusting to a different life than the one they had before when their parents lived together and to understand that change happens. I hope this helped my daughter.
