How can you grow up when your mom won't let you?

Being 10 has not been easy for Mandy White. It's bad enough she has to waar her hair in braids and her mom picks out her clothes. Now, Kim has emerged as the most popular girl in class, and has stolen Mandy's former best friend Sarah. The only person who seems to care is Authur King, but a boy? When an unfortunate and embarassing accident forces mandy to stay home for a few days, she notices a new girl in the neighborhood. This girls doesn't have to wear baby clothes, she wears heels and shorts and cropped tops and has spikey hair and wears makeup. The two girls form an unlikely friendship. The combination of Mandy and Tanya provides both girls with new insights, and strengths, and helps them face some of the challenges in their lives. This is a great book for the pre-teen agegroup.

Wonderful ! ! ! ! !

I love this book I am a great fan of Jacqueline Wilson and this is definitely her best yet- it's even better than 'double act'. Which says something! It's deals with alot of issues: stealing and bullying as two examples. It teaches people how to deal with them. There is one character in the story that I really hated. This proved how well Wilson had developed her characters and given them personality. I would recommend it thoroughly.

Too good to be true!

Read this book, and you shall be utterly mesmerised! Nick Sharret's detailed pictures make it even more value for your money! Belive me, when it comes to this truly fantastic book, its worth the wait.
