Best Friends

Bad, bold Gemma and dainty Alice have been best friends forever, even though Gemma loves football and fighting, while Alice prefers party frocks and pretty things. Gemma is sure they share everything – until she finds out that Alice has something she’s not sharing: a secret that will change their friendship forever.

Alice is moving house, all the way to Scotland. Maybe Gemma will never even see her again! Gemma is heartbroken. What if Alice finds a new best friend? Is there anything she can do to stop her going? And when two best friends want to be together, just how far will they go?

Best Friends is one of the best books I have ever read in my life. Gemma and Alice are closer than sisters. Disaster strikes when Alice has to go to Scottland. Gemma would give anything to see Alice again. The only way Alice and Gemma can keep in touch is by e-mail. Alice meets a girl called Flora who has a computer. One day Gemma’s grandad has to do a job for an old lady in-you guessed it- Scottland.But Flora spoils the fun. Ther is way more drama and wittiness to this book with a funny surprise at the end. I hope all you guys enjoy it or else
