The Butterfly Club

This book is perfect for the young children that have mastered reading but are too young for older themes. The book has the message of 'don't judge a book by its cover' and also promotes standing on your own two feet. Tina is a triplet but is smaller than her sisters due to a heart way condition. In year three, Tina doesn't sit with her sisters in class for the first time. Instead, Tina must sit next to the bully, Selma. Tina finds a way to reach Selma's heart and becomes her friend. Tina also learns a few things along the way, and makes a 'Butterfly Garden'. An enjoyable read with life lessons hidden in the text.

This Book is quite like my life and it is very touching because I love butterflies and my parents sometimes when we go to the butterfly house they call me the butterfly whisperer and I'm proud I almost feel that it was made for me well I am so touched by this Magical book and I fact funny thing is that I am in a club I made called the butterfly club so I'm amazed! 😍💎💎💖💖❤️❤️ super impressed with this book so yeah ILove it to pieces I can't wait till I read it all over again peace👋 bye

The Butterfly Club is a very interesting book. I think this book could go on the Best Sellers too. Tina and Selma are the bestest friends they could to each other.I loved this book and love Jaqueline Wilson too.

While aimed at a younger audience, I found nostalgia and reminisced my long past youth.A fun book to read.

Great story for my 7 year old girl

Great bookI couldn't put it downYou really don't know what will happen nextI would absolutely recommend it!!!

Hi I am Minka and I am 10. l loved this book because it was excellent and I liked it because it was funny and my style

Review oh behalf of Orchard Book Club Mini Reviewers.The Butterfly Club is a really good book and a really good story on making new friends. With some nice and mean characters. It is a really good animal story too with lots of illustrations. But will small Tina be able to cope with mean Selma and Kay-Leigh, will Mrs Lovejoy easy down on Tina or will she just have to fend for herself for the next year.My personal favourite part is when Bully Selma takes a rough turn, will it stay permanently that way. Another part is when her Mum gets a bit worried about the beginning of the Butterfly garden, will Tina and Selma be able to raise enough money to get all the flowers for there garden? What will happen to all there hard work… One sad part is when Tina’s sisters Philippa and Madeline will not except Selma as part of their life. Tina`s just about to give up all her hope on the butterfly garden when the first one appears but will Tina still carry on believing that more Butterflies will come or shall she just give up! Find out in this brilliant book.Finally a big thanks to Jacqueline Wilson the author of this brilliant book, also congratulations seen as The Butterfly Club is your 101st book and another big thanks to Nick Sharrett the illustrator of this brilliant book.Review by Amy-Lee aged 9.***Book given in exchange for an honest review***

I had avoided Jacqueline Wilson because I thought they seemed a bit worthy/issue led, didn't like the graphics. I now realise I was wrong to do so.I read this to my 7 year old and it was fast paced, emotionally and intelligently engaging and good writing.Really helped allay fears about having a stern teacher next year and also how to not judge others until you get to know them - but done in a subtle way.I will now look for others.

"The story is about triplet girls and the younger one was called Tina. Their teacher Miss Lovejoy asked Tina and bully Selma to make a butterfly garden together. Then after that they were best friends."

I chose this rating because I loved watching the characters develop. Especially like watching the friendship between Tina and Selma grow from them being deadly enemies to best friends. I also love how it is in the same universe as Double act. I loved seeing Ruby and Garner all grown up.

"I thaught the butterfly club was a good book by Jackie ,and I specifficaly liked the part when Tina got a chace to be on the Ruby Red show it is one of my favourite books to read ,when I have nothing to do I sit on the sofa and insantly I am engrossed and can't put it down." I would really recommend it to everyone . By Georgi 10 years.

Honestly such a good book , had me reliving my childhood I haven’t read a Jacqueline Wilson book in a good ten years. Of course it’s more aimed at kids but I enjoyed it still, I’m a big kid at heart haha.
