Lizzie Zipmouth

 Family is really important ;that is the lesson  lizzie learnt in this poignant book  called Lizzie Zipmouth by Jacqueline Wilson ,it is the story a girl called Lizzie and her mummy  . Lizzie  has recently got fed up and has decided not to speak because Lizzie's previous step dad mentally abused Lizzie and her mother so Lizzie and her mom made the big decision to run away from this violent and repulsive man. but soon after ,Lizzie's mother fell in love with a different man called Sam .he was a very kind man but (lizzie didn't think so) .Sam had two sons one called Rory and the other called Jake this finally made Lizzie snap as she thought her mother was making the same mistake but Sam was intact the opposite  of what Lizzie had first believed  i fact he was a kind loving man but of-course Lizzie didn't know this so she carried on being stubborn and silent until she met somebody in the family who was very old ,her new step great gran who was as judgemental and stubborn as Lizzie so through there two faults they bonded and found they both had the same hobby an obsession. collecting china dolls ! that where all shapes and sizes . . .  Then something changed her new great gran and friend had a massive stroke causing her not to be able to speak or move! Lizzie was so worried she couldn't sleep, eat and she even started crying in her sleep but then finally when her step dad Sam agreed to let lizzie go and see her great gran in hospital Lizzie was regretting  it as she saw everyone either crying or dying  but then she saw her gran and Lizzie was actually very happy when  she came even though she couldn't interact with her .but in the hospital a miracle happened through Lizzie's new found cheekiness she taught her great gran to speak once more !!!

By Lizzie's experience she understands that family are really important and you will miss them when they are not there and there is a thing called unconditional  love !!! I enjoyed this book because Jacqueline Wilson wrote it in such a way I couldn't put it down and I got sucked into this experience and I was Lizzie I was even anxious for her grandmother so Jacqueline Wilson taught me how to sympathise and empathise so for me I found it like a non biblical parable .
