Lola Rose is a children's novel by Jacqueline Wilson, first published in 2003.[1][2] It revolves around the life of a young girl called Jayni Fenton who runs away to London with her mother Nikki and younger brother Kenny, after her father physically abuses her mother and, eventually, Jayni herself. The family adopt new names to help prevent their father tracing them. Mum becomes Victoria Luck, Kenny becomes Kendall Luck (as it is easy for him to remember) and Jayni becomes Lola Rose Luck. The story deals with the issues of domestic abuse, child abuse and breast cancer.
