Gemma and Alice, born on the same day, have been devoted best friends ever since.

Despite Gemma's larger-than-life personality and Alice's quieter, calmer character, the two are inseparable - until that is Alice has to move house, all the way to Scotland.

Gemma is utterly distraught, particularly at the thought that Alice might find a new best friend.

Is there anything Gem's brothers, or perhaps her grandad, can do to help?

A charming, funny and touching story that new and younger girl fans of the hugely successful Jacqueline Wilson will adore.

Established fans, especially male readers, will be delighted to re-encounter the flamboyant Biscuits, co-star of Buried Alive! and Cliffhanger.
