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.

Girls In TearsJacqueline Wilson, Nick Sharratt (Illustrator)

The girls are back – but they're not very happy! 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?

Girls Out LateJacqueline Wilson, Rachael Dean (Illustrator)

Ellie has a boyfriend! And he's really, truly interested in her - not in her best friends, Magda and Nadine! She and oh-so-gorgeous Russell have so much in common - Ellie knows they're made for each other. If only Dad thought so too . . .

While Ellie tries her best to cope with Dad's totally unreasonable curfew, Magda's dealing with her crush on a teacher - and Nadine's falling for slimy Liam again. What they need is a girls' night out - but they might get a little more than they bargained for . . .

Girls Under PressureJacqueline Wilson, Rachael Dean (Illustrator)

‘Up at the top, the lights are still flashing and the queue is even bigger and all around me there are girls much taller than me, much prettier than me, much much much thinner than me.’

Magda is tall and glamorous, but she’s worried that her appearance is giving guys the wrong idea.

Nadine is willowy and gothic – she wants to be a model, but the industry is unforgiving.

And Ellie…well, Ellie is convinced she’s fat.

The pressure is on for the girls to change the way they look – but can they learn to love themselves the way they are?

This book features an unfiltered depiction of an eating disorder.

The second book in the GIRLS series, join Magda, Nadine and Ellie as they explore self-esteem, identity and peer pressure. Perfect for readers 12+.
