Jacqueline has always known there was a bad half lurking under the good, and one isn't sure whether the sniffing is a cause or a catalyst. Jacqueline is surrounded by people who care deeply for her - her grandma particularly - and there is great hope she will get over her split personality though there is some suggestion of schizophrenia. In fact, the whole story is told in the first person, and only at the end does one realise she is talking to a psychiatrist. When she finally sets fire to the school, she is sent to a 'place where people listen'. However, she has lost control, and sometimes Jacqueline the bad takes over anyway. Jacqueline has never read the story, but she realises there are awful things happening to her, so she gets rid of the bottle. The chain of events this starts is horrifying and along with her bad behaviour, Jacqueline starts having terrible nightmares - dreams that parallel Stevenson's story of Jekyll and Hyde. One sniff and she becomes Jacqueline the bad. In an old cupboard in grandma's attic, Jacqueline comes across a bottle with a sticky substance in it. 1996 by Robert Swindells (Author) 12 ratings Kindle Edition 2.99 Read with Our Free App Audiobook 0.00 Free with your Audible trial Hardcover 3.84 7 Used from 1.05 Paperback 2.57 14 Used from 0.05 1 New from 188.51 MP3 CD 10.46 4 New from 8.
