A valuable book but with some confronting themes

I recommend that parents read this with their kids (esp younger readers, eg, my daughter is 8yo but loves Jacqueline Wilson books) rather than leaving them to read on their own. It contains a few confronting issues, eg, references to a parent's suicide and drug abuse, that may need a little explaining. Otherwise, i think it is a really valuable book - not only enjoyable for kids but brings up some really pertinent issues for young people, eg, bullying and friendship, the importance of not judging people, dealing with 'uncool' parents etc etc. There are a lot of kids like Tanya and Mandy out there and books like this are helpful in giving a better sense of the complexity of their situations. I also liked the way Mandy's mother was portrayed, ie, her character displayed a level of complexity not normally found in books for this age group.

This book is great!

This is a moving, angry, and sometimes funny tale from Jacqueline Wilson.
The book's about a ten-year old girl called Mandy White who certainly doesn't look 10. She doesn't really like herself and gets bullied at school by mean, bossy Kim and her nasty gang.
One day Kim's behaviour really gets out of control, and Mandy gets knocked down by a bus.
While recovering from the accident, Mandy meets a girl called Tanya who's really cool and dresses like she's 16, not 14, and wears her hair in this ultra-cool style. She immediately befriends Mandy and Mandy's life gets much, much better, even though Kim and her gang of girls still torment her. It doesn't matter that Tanya's not from a very good background and Mandy gets treated like a baby.
Read the book to find out more.

Bad Girls....a total winner!

A book about Mandy White, a 10 year old girl that looks like she's 8. She meets Tanya across the street. Tanya has horrible roots but that doesn't effect the girls' friendship. Mandy becomes alarmed when her and Tanya go shopping and Tanya shoplifts. Once Tanya gets caught they try to run away. Tanya and Mandy get caught while Tanya is trying to catch Mandy. Tanya tells the police that Mandy is innocent so they let Mandy go. Tanya ends up going to Juvenile Hall.
This is my all-time favorite book, EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT!!!

reviews: page 1, 2, 3

Kim?s gang had better watch out! Tanya?s my friend now, and she?ll show them!

Mandy has been picked on at school for as long as she can remember, so she is delighted when cheeky, full-of-fun Tanya befriends her. Mum isn?t happy ? she thinks Tanya?s a ?bad girl? and a bad influence. Is she or isn?t she?
