Brigit Forsyth reads Jacqueline Wilson's
Girls Under Pressure in this unabridged three-cassette audio book.
When a teen magazine begins its hunt for a new cover girl, three friends, each very different in style and personality, become obsessed by the way they look. As Nadine starts to change her appearance, Magda becomes more infatuated by designer labels. Ellie, who feels plain in comparison to her glamorous friends, finds herself tumbling into the abyss of bulimia.
A sharp, well-observed and uncomfortable look at the teenage years, Girls Under Pressure successfully portrays the fears of a group of young girls on the cusp of adulthood. With her three main characters struggling to come to terms with their identities, Wilson still manages to maintain a sense of humour that somehow helps make the horror of the story even more real. Running time is four hours and 32 minutes. --Susan Harrison
