She has also won numerous awards including the Guardian Children's Fiction Award for The Illustrated Mum; the Smarties Prize, the Sheffield Children's Book Award and the Children's Book Award for Double Act; The Young Telegraph/Fully Booked Award in 1995 for The Bed and Breakfast Star; and the 2002 Blue Peter People's Choice Award for The Story of Tracy Beaker. Abusive Parents: Laura's mother slaps her a couple of times, even if she's immediately apologetic about it. The disgust and judgement piled onto her from relatives and acquaintances made me empathise with anyone who actually had to go through something like this back in the day. Sheltered by her overprotective parents and eager to fit in with new best friend Nina and appear more grown up, you can see how things spiral out of control.

It's 1960 and Laura is a fourteen year old girl who is just trying to be a normal teenager despite her overprotective mother. Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Belinda is known for her blond hair and is one of the sweetest people Laura has ever met. However, in the 1960s women who are unmarried or young are treated very different to today for becoming pregnant. Premessa: Jaqueline Wilson e´ l´autrice che mi ha accompagnato per tutta la mia infanzia, quindi il mio giudizio e´ influenzato da il mio personale attaccamento nostalgico.My heart ached at how one moment Laura is navigating life, family and friendship as an adoloescent and the next she's whisked off to a home. Deliveries to destinations outside Australia are made by DHL courier, and cannot be made to post office boxes. Nina has two brothers, Little Richard (nicknamed after the singer) and older brother Daniel, who is always kind and friendly. A trip to the local swimming pool begins with trepidation as Nina wears a bikini and a European holiday tan, and Laura squeezes into her old bathing suit with an anchor on her flat chest.

I knew it would be well written and sensitively tackled as Jacqueline Wilson so often does and I knew it would be handled well. Marilyn starts out being quite stern and under Miss Andrews thumb, but she does grow to like Laura and the other girls in her care, and eventually tearfully agrees that Laura should be allowed to keep her baby. She also keeps Laura's secret about being pregnant and later visits her and Heathcote House when no-one else ever has.Set in the 1960s, this compelling YA novel follows Laura, who finds herself pregnant at the age of 14. However, it was good for Laura and I think Wilson did a great job of showing other not so great endings for other women in the book for us to believe that Laura’s could be one of the good ones.
