Summary: A fun read
Review: Charlie Enright is happy with the way things are. She and her mum Jo live in their little apartment and Charlie is looking forward to the new school year with her friends Lisa and Angela. Then the new teacher, Miss Beckworth, insists on calling her Charlotte, and on making her sit next to Jamie Edwards, the drippiest boy in school. To make matters even worse, Miss Beckworth, who doesn't seem to have a humerous bone in her body, has assigned all the class to do a project on the Victorians, Yuck! What was going to be a great school year is turning out to be perfectly wretched. When Jo comes home with news of changes in her job, and Charlie feels her life is spinning out of control. This delightful book follows the changes in Charlie's life as she tries to get her Victorian project done, cope with her friends growing up and beginning to like boys (Yuck), and endures Miss Beckworth. There is even a delightful story within the story. I couldn't wait to see what happened next and how Charlie would manage to cope. A great book about growing up and changes.

Summary: A Great Book
Review: Charlotte Alice Katherine Enright (better known as Charlie) is getting to a point where life has several problems. First of all, she has no father (well, sort of. He left her and her mother when Charlie was very young), so Charlie and her mom aren't exactly the richest people, and live in a small apartment, with one bedroom, a bathroom,and a kitchen. Plus, her single, young mother, Joanne Enright (better known as Jo) has recently started dressing up and wearing makeup for no reason what so ever. And if that wasn't enough, she has even worse problems at school.

Charlie is starting a new year at school, and she thinks that it is going to be a great year, but she is very wrong.This year, she meets the devil: a new, extremely strict teacher named Ms.Beckworth, who ruined everything for Charlie. For example, Charlie was planning on sitting with her best friends Lisa and Angela, but instead, Ms. Beckworth put Lisa and Angela together, and put Charlie with the most irritating, snobby,smarty-pants kid in the whole class: Jamie Edwards. Plus, Ms. Beckworth assigned the class a boring Victorian project, but Charlie decided to give the project a little twist, and that's when the diary of Lottie, the Victorian nursery maid,was born. Will Charlie ever survive this year?

The cute, funny book, The Lottie Project, by Jacqueline Wilson, is an enjoyable, must-read book. I am not alone when I say, "I loved it!". This one-of-a-kind book could never relate to any other books. This book was cutely humorous, and was hard to put down. I really enjoyed the fact that Jacqueline Wilson compared a main character (Charlie) with history (Lottie). If you enjoy books that are just plainly sad, mysterious, or historical, then maybe this isn't‚ your match. But, if you are a person who enjoys a cheery story with a tint of sadness, a speckle of mystery, and a tad bit of history, then this is definitely the book for you!

Summary: Great book!!!
Review: Charlotte's (aka Charlie's) 6th grade year is not coming out to a good start. Mrs. Beckworth is her not-so-great teacher who asigns the 6th graders to write a boring project about the Victorian times. But Charlie has worse problems. Her mom might be getting a boyfriend. And her best friends are getting interested in boys, while Charlie still isn't! How does Charlie survive all this? Read the book to find out. I would recommand this book to sixth graders, especially girls. This is one of my favorite Jacqueline Wilson books!

Summary: Lottie Project-what a book!!!
Review: I have read many books from Jacqueline Wilson, and have admired her ability to express how kids feel, what they want. This is all true. Being a kid, i have lots of friends that match those in the story. This book, Lottie Project, is one of my favourite books she wrote. I know how it feels to be forced to write a project, but i have never wrote a project, that like Charlotte's, matches my own daily life.
In school, i have just learnt about the Victorians, and told my teacher, Miss Battram, about the book. She too admitts that it is a good book and should be added into the Victorian learning program for year 5 next year.
Everyone can see that Jacqueline Wilson has shown us how an 11year old girl's life can be similar to a maid in the Victorian times, and how they coped with it.
This book is really great for everyone to read, maybe single parents should take a peek in this book too as it will tell single parents how their child feels when they start dating someone else. then, they can talk it through with their child, so mistakes like in Lottie Project, that Charlotte Enright had to cope with, will not happen.
Furthermore, this book is very good to be used in Victorian sessions in school, seeing as the book is very funny, and still useful in teaching about a 11 year old girl's life in the Victorian times.

Summary: Read it NOW!!!
Review: I have to say, I LOVE this book!! It's funny while facing hard problems. While Lottie and her mom are usually two peas in a pod, her mom gets a boyfriend. Outspoken and funny Lottie is not happy about this! The subplot of this book is that she makes a journal of a victorian slave girl named charlotte. I loved this book, and all girls ages 9 and up should definately give it a try!!!

Summary: Understand Your Daughter
Review: I really enjoyed the book and recommend this book to all. This is an 'easy-peasy' (as described by the Lottie). This girl is so charming in her very own way and very much an example for adults to be truthful about yourselves and to express your feeling freely without hypocrasy.

Summary: It 's very very good
Review: I think that this book is very funny but also deals with a serious matter, growing up. The book is definately a good buy because you can read it over and over again. It is also not to difficcult to read so it is good if you want to relax and read. I think the age range of people who would enjoy this book is probably around 10-14.
