Best Friends
Jacqueline Wilson Audio Book

In this touching tale of friendship in adversity, Jacqueline Wilson again demonstrates her talents as one of the foremost children’s writers of her generation. When two young girls who have been friends since before they can remember have to adjust to a new life, their friendship must overcome the challenges that are thrown at them. This heartwarming story addresses issues that nearly all children have to face at some point, portrayed in a believable and compassionate way thanks to Wilson’s unique humour and style.

Gemma and Alice were born on the same day, at the same time, in the same hospital, and have been best friends ever since. Despite their very different personalities, they have never let anything get in the way of their friendship. Until now that is. When Gemma discovers that Alice is moving away, she is of course devastated, and both girls are left wondering whether they can still remain friends over such a long distance. Gemma is particularly mortified at the idea that Alice might find a new best friend.

Over the course of the story, read here by Susannah Harker and available to purchase as a CD audiobook or as an MP3 audiobook, the two girls have to learn to adapt to their new lives without each other whilst hopefully remaining friends. Can their friendship withstand the test?
