Reviews

I really enjoyed this book, what I liked about it was that Jem's friends Frankie and Skye helped Jem to find her birth mum which I thought was a really kind thing to do because she has wanted to meet her actual mum forever!

Frankie Foster tries to be helpful but most of the time it goes wrong.This time it is serious! This book fizzed and popped full of adventure and love.Frankie's sister is always on her case,just like her two best mates.Frankie is optimistic to prove she can make things go right;and is determined to find Jem's real birth mother-but is it all how it's made out to be?

i think that fizzy pop is very interesting and that in the past people will enjoy this book and if they were any more books made i would love to read them theese books can tell you plenty of things and could learn you things in the past so if you need help or somthing you just read it it might give you a few ideas about things in life so if you haven't read this book i think you should read it so if you havent either go to a library, order it or borrow it off a friend. p.s you should read it from Courtney (Y7)

i think that frankie foster fizzy pop is a good book because it makes me laugh and the thing is, is that alls she is trying to do is help. When she says " I'm just trying to help " alls she is doing when help is needed she is just making it worse and when she is trying to help she is just making a fool of her self and that is what makes me laugh and that is what i like about the story of frankie foster fizzy pop.

Frankie Foster Fizzy Pop is a brilliant book for people ages to 9+.This book is about a girl called Frankie who likes helping people but every time she trys to help she makes the problem even worse. Which will make readers at home think about the consequences before making decisions for others. Amazingly this book talks about Frankie's relationship with her brother, sister and mum and dad. Which will make people at home think about the way they should treat their family.

Tthis book is very good because it talks about friendship, relationships and it also shows how determined Frankie is to help every one, however things are not always how she plans them out. It's a great book because you can relate to it because you might have had problems or helped someone with the same problem that she had!
