They even change names: Nikki becomes Victoria Luck, Kenny becomes Kendall and Jayni becomes Lola Rose. With the lottery winnings in hand, they travel to London in hopes of starting a new life. Seeing this as the last straw, Nikki gathers her things and tells the kids they’re running away. But after drinking too much, he hits Nikki over something petty and then attacks Jayni when she tries standing up to him. One day, Jayni gets the surprise that her mother has won the lottery. The family lives in constant fear of Jay because he’s a rageaholic and unpredictably violent – he’s even put his wife in hospital several times. It’s the story of Jayni, a young girl who lives with her brother (Kenny), mother (Nikki) and father (Jay). Eventually, I decided to go with ‘Lola Rose’, since it handles not one, but two real-world issues – which few other authors dare to attempt. And for while, I couldn’t decide which one to choose from the collection I have. Enjoy.Įver since finishing my review of ‘Lily Alone’, I’ve been eager to read another Jacqueline Wilson book.
