3.5 ★ such a cute short story. I loved the progression of Lizzie’s character and how Jacqueline Wilson tackles sensitive topics.

Lizzie Zipmouth

A short, sparky novel from our mega-selling star 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!

A young girl refuses to speak after moving into a new home until she bonds with her step-great-grandmother.
