Description

When life with Jayni's violent-tempered father becomes too frightening to cope with, Jayni, her mum and her little brother Kenny are forced to escape in the middle of the night. Slipping out of the house unseen, travelling up to London by train and checking into a hotel - it's almost like playing an elaborate game. They even make up false identities to protect their secret, and Jayni becomes the glamorous-sounding Lola Rose. But when money runs out and reality bites, what will they do next?

This book was a great read, it had all the right mixtures of scariness, happiness etc. It was one of those books you can't put down!

This was quite a good story, especially for children who might be going through similar things.

This book really annoyed me. I hated the characters, except for Auntie Barbara who was big, loud and loveable. I wanted to shake the mother on more than one occasion and tell her to grow up, Kenny (the younger brother) was a wuss, the father was abusive and Jayni was just plain irritating. Very
