When the family arrive at Melchester they meet Miss French, the school secretary. Even though she refuses, at first, Jodie finally says that she will move, when Pearl asks her to. She sees the move as an opportunity to have a fresh start, in a different place with a different life. Pearl, however, is glad because she is constantly bullied at her school. She is even more horrified when her mother says that she will have to retake Year 8.
Jodie does not want to move, because she is settled at her current school, where she is friends with the popular girls. They would like to give the girls an opportunity to receive a quality education. Their mother and father, Sharon and Joe, decide to move to Melchester College, a boarding school in the countryside, where they have both been offered new jobs as a cook and caretaker, respectively. Pearl, 10, is a shy bookworm, who thinks the world of Jodie. She dyes her hair, pierces her ears and dresses in an outlandish way, constantly irritating her mother. Jodie, 14, is boisterous, mischievous and very protective of her younger sister. But Jodie needs her.My Sister Jodie is a 2008 children's novel by English author Jacqueline Wilson. Maybe she doesn't need Jodie as much as she used to. But Pearl is doing well in lessons and has even more friends. Jodie really doesn't fit in with the posh teenagers at the school.
When term begins, their strange summer is over.
Jodie just seems to be getting into more and more trouble. Jodie has always been the leader - but now it's Pearl who's making new friends, like the wife of the Head who introduces Pearl to wonderful new books. And when they arrive, things start to change. When their parents get new jobs as the cook and caretaker at a fusty old boarding school, the girls have to move there and spend their summer holidays in the school with just a few children and staff for company. Jodie is bold and brash and bad - but Pearl adores her anyway. Pearl is the quiet, studious younger sister.
