Love Lessons (novel)

Love Lessons is a British children's novel by Jacqueline Wilson, first published by Doubleday in 2005. It is illustrated by Nick Sharratt, although the only illustrations in this book are the chapter-headings.

Some of the characters in Love Lessons are similar to those in one of the author's previous books, Waiting for the Sky to Fall (1983). The title of the novel is identical to David Belbin's earlier Love Lessons (1998) which is about a sexual affair between a pupil and teacher, but Wilson's book is far more soft-centred.

Plot summary

The story revolves around a girl called Prudence "Prue" King who lives with her bossy, often scary dad who loses his temper very easily, a sweet yet pressured mother and an immature but kindhearted younger sister, Grace. Her dad is very temperamental and he gets mad on silly things like art classes for Prue and he thinks going to school is an absurd idea. He insists on educating Prue and Grace himself while running a not so successful book shop. One day a man called Mr Miles from the education system comes and tells Prue's father that Prue will have to go to school so she can get her GCSEs. After much grumbling her father reluctantly decides to send her to Maths tuition but not to school. After the class, Prue gives up and skives from her classes, while spending £60.00 in the process on chocolate which she later shares with Grace, magazines, food from McDonald's (which as it is, is forbidden food in the King family), art materials and some expensive lingerie. Prue's father finds out and gets so worked up about it that he has a stroke and has to leave for the hospital immediately. After much thinking over, the girls’ mother decides to send them to the nearest public school, Wentworth High, while still keeping it a secret from their sick father.

Love Lessons (album)

Love Lessons is the third studio album from American neotraditionalist country artist Tracy Byrd. It produced the singles "Love Lessons," "Walking to Jerusalem," "4 to 1 in Atlanta," and "Heaven in My Woman's Eyes," all of which charted on the Billboard country music charts between 1995 and 1996. The title track was the only single of these four to reach Top Ten on that chart.
