Good read. - Rated 
This Jean Ure book is a really good read. It is about four girls: Laurel, Jasmine, Rose and Daisy. Their parents are actors, but they have broken up and the girls want to get their parents back together again. It is funny, exciting and one of those books you do not want to put down, until you have finished it.
One of my favourite books by Jean Ure - Rated
Family Fan Club is about a family of 6, 2 parents and their four daughters, Laurel, Jasmine, Rose and Daisy. Their parents are both actors and after the Great Row they divorce. Now the sisters are doing anything they possibly can to get their parents back together, doing plays, inviting Dad round for a chat etc. But will all this hard work pay off?

This is a very good book by a great author. It's about something that a lot of children have to go through, parents divorsing. The girlS' mum is an actress and their dad is an actor. They break up after an argument. I think that this book is a must-read for Jean Ure fan's. So why only four stars? Because i think that the plot is slightly predictable in parts. However, i still think it's a very good book.

I enjoyed this book. It's like it says on the cover - a "Little Women" for today! It stars four sisters. There's Laurel (who is the equivalent of Little Women's Meg) Jazz (Jo) Daisy (Beth) and Rose (Amy). Laurel's the oldest, the one who's obsessed with fashion. Then there's Jazz, the heroine of the story, who wants to be an actress. Daisy, the little, innocent one who everyone loves. And the youngest is Rose - and she's the one part of the book I don't like. In Little Women, the youngest sister, Amy, was slightly stuck-up and self-absorbed, but a loveable character really. She might have burnt her sister's most cherished item, but she was sorry, and if you saw it from her point of view you could feel sorry for her too. Rose is nothing like that. She's clever, annoying and thinks she's better than everyone else. She ruins everything, but you don't feel any sympathy to her in the way she acts. I didn't like her, and I felt I was supposed to. I think it's important to like all the main characters. But apart from that, it's a great book! The story is similar to that of Little Women, but not identical. The girls' mother is an actress, and is finding it hard to find work. She's split up from her husband, also an actor, who Jazz and co. don't see very often. The book is basically about the girls' attempts to get their parents back together. It's not Jean Ure's best, and it's not as good as Little Women, but it's very good and definitely worth a read.
