Brigit Forsyth reads Jacqueline Wilson's
Girls in Love in this unabridged three-cassette audio book.
Girls in Love is the first title (followed by Girls Under Pressure) in a trilogy for older readers by the award-winning Wilson. Already an immensely popular author of books for younger readers (such as Bad Girls, The Suitcase Kid and Double Act) she is likely, with Girls in Love, to prove equally popular with girls in their early teens.
As well as dealing with typical boyfriend problems, this hilariously entertaining novel touches on the deeper pains associated with the loss of a parent and coming to terms with a new step-parent. Ellie, Magda and Nadine are determined to explore the as yet uncharted territory of the boyfriend. When best friend Nadine gets a boyfriend, Ellie finds herself saying that she's got one too. The trouble is, he's the too young, too nerdy and too ugly boy who fell in love with her during her boring holiday in Wales. But when Nadine's dishy boyfriend starts causing trouble we see just how important girlfriends are and just how lucky Ellie is to have found a boy who is really her friend. This is an amusing and delightful book by someone who clearly knows what she's writing about. --Tamsin Palmer
