Customer Reviews

Sweet and fun

English school girls Gemma (sporty, a little loud, a little clumsy) and Alice (girly, pretty and sweet) are best friends despite their somewhat opposite personalities. When Alice has to move away the friendship undergoes some rough times. It's fun to read about these two pre-teens. The story is warm and humorous without being overly sweet, and the drawings at the start of each chapter are very cute. The book shows how friendships can change and grow as the people themselves change. Great supporting characters, too. If you like this book, author Jacqueline Wilson is a prolific writer, with many award- winning books to her name.
