Esme Pepper

The Seaside Sleepover

Being a teenager is tough, but having your two best friends around you can make it easier. Sometimes. Thirteen year old Ellie narrates this quartet of books as three girls navigate their way through their early teenage years, finding their first loves, testing the boundaries with their parents, falling out, making new friends, working out what they really want and realising how lucky they are to have each other. Jaqueline Wilson deals with the pressures surrounding teenage girls with her usual style, creating a series that is in equal measure heartwrenching and uplifting.

The Make-Believe

I'm Sadie and I'm nearly nine. Mum's a childminder, but she doesn't have to mind me. I can mind myself, easy-peasy. Lucky for Mum, because now she's got the flu, so I've got to mind her - and help with all the babies!

A hilarious, entertaining and lively account, of one chaotic week in the life of a young girl whose mother is a childminder, with a special introduction by bestselling author Jacqueline Wilson.

'This isn't just a holiday diary. It's a huge great blockbusting book!'
