About this ebook
"She's good at spending heaps of money that we haven't got. She's good at getting drunk. She's good at getting completely nutty ideas into her head."
Dolphin adores her mum - she's beautiful and vibrant. She's covered in colourful tattoos and with her bright hair and amazing clothes, Marigold stands out wherever she goes.
But her sister, Star, feels differently.
Marigold may look great, but living with her unpredictable, fiery moods can be hard. After Marigold has a breakdown, Dolphin starts to wonder...is she the right person to be looking after her?
From bestselling author Jacqueline Wilson, The Illustrated Mum is an optimistic tale about family, mental health and sisterly love. This is a must have book for every young reader.
Look out for PICTURE IMPERFECT, Jacqueline Wilson’s brand-new adult novel that continues Dolphin, Marigold and Star's story.

My favourite part is when Marigold meets Micky, but is sad that Star leaves Marigold and Dol :(
