Vicky’s Angel - Jacqueline Wilson

Jade is so used to staying, listening and agreeing with her best friend, Vicky. Suddenly, Vicky meets with a car accident right in front of Jade’s eyes. A lady also sees this and immediately rushes out of the house and calls the police and the ambulance, which came to take Vicky away. Even though the nurse in the ambulance tells Jade not to come in the ambulance, Jade insists on travelling with Vicky. When Vicky was being operated her parents rush in. Vicky’s mother starts blaming and accusing Jade of not stopping Vicky. Jade bursts into tears and Vicky’s father comforts her. Soon the nurse comes out of the operating room announces Vicky’s death.

If you think Vicky is dead, then you are mistaken. She is always full of spirit and doesn’t let being dead stop her from enjoying her life (or death!). She arrives in Ghost form…. But, she is visible only to Jade. Instead of feeling  happy to have her friend back in some form, Jade is miserable because Vicky keeps bossing and meddling with her life.

A book that makes you cry and helps you deal with a close one’s death. Can’t say if I enjoyed reading it !
