Yet again Jacqueline Wilson captures the childhood issues of growing up, both emotional and physical. Her characters and the friendships between each of them are brilliantly drawn and every child reading Girls in Tears will find a character they empathise with. Highly enjoyable. A marvellous read.
Ellie's glorious romance with Russell is teetering on the rocks. Magda's lost her pet and is desperately upset (though the others didn't even know she had a hamster!). And Nadine is fed up with the other two lecturing her about the dangers of meeting someone from the internet IRL - she thinks the guy she's chatting to online is wonderful . . .
Buckets of tears are wept and hundreds of tissues are sniffled into - can the girls survive these testing times? Perfect for 12+ readers. Follow the rest of Ellie, Nadine and Magda's adventures through the series: 1. Girls in Love 2. Girls Under Pressure 3. Girls Out Late 4. Girls in Tears
Look out for THINK AGAIN, Jacqueline Wilson's brand-new adult novel that follows Ellie and the girls into adulthood.
