Girls in Love/Girls Under Pressure Award-winning author by Jacqueline Wilson (author) (UK edition)

Two books in one! Teen queen Jacky serves up this timely reminder: boys come and go, but girlfriends stick together. No matter what. Magda, Nadine and Ellie have been best friends forever. Magda is tall and glamorous. Nadine is willowy and ‘gothic’. And Ellie… well, Ellie is just plain normal. The three girls are just hitting their teens, and they have a lot on their mind – mainly boys! And if love isn’t tricky enough, they have their own hang-ups and problems to deal with. First dates. Exams. School. Family pressures. It could all get too much. Thank goodness they have each other to count on!

Jacqueline Wilson

Jacqueline Wilson was born in Bath in 1945, but spent most of her childhood in Kingston-on-Thames. She always wanted to be a writer and wrote her first “novel” when she was nine, filling countless Woolworths’ exercise books as she grew up. Since having her daughter, Emma, she has been writing full time.

Her insightful and emotionally challenging books not only stretch reading ability, but give young readers a glimpse into many kinds of lives. Smart girls, strong girls, bad girls, brave girls. Girls keeping their families going, girls trying to get away… Jacqueline Wilson’s written about them all! These powerful stories of plucky girls in difficult circumstances won’t fail to strike a chord.

She has written over 70 best-selling books, and several have even been adapted for TV – most famously The Story of Tracy Beaker. Her signing sessions attract huge crowds of fans and last for hours! Over 25 million copies of her books have now been sold in the UK alone.

In 2007 Jacky Daydream was published, an inspirational true story of how a shy schoolgirl became a superstar author. This was followed by My Secret Diary, a captivating account of Jacky’s teenage years.

In June 2002 Jacqueline was given an OBE for services to literacy in schools, and she was the Children’s Laureate from 2005-2007. She also became a Dame in December 2007.
