Girls in Tears

Jacqueline Wilson's Girls In Tears is the fourth instalment in her successful Girls series, following the lives and loves of three buddies--Ellie, Magda and Nadine--each very different but each bound by an absolute bond of friendship.

As ever, things are not running so smoothly for the girls. Ellie's romance is on its last legs, thanks to a persistent boyfriend, Nadine is "in love" with a boy she met on the Internet and is planning to go and meet him despite the other girls' insistence that things may not be quite as they seem, and Magda's hamster has died, leaving her less than happy with her friends' response to her grief. Each of them is shedding tears (rivers of them, in fact) and none of them can quite get to grips with the idea that their all-time best mates seem to be so absorbed in their own problems that communication between them is fast breaking down...

Jacqueline Wilson, award-winning queen of tell-it-as-it-is children's literature, hits the teen spot with this straightforward, highly enjoyable novel, adding further flesh to the bones of the characters her loyal readers will have come to love in Girls In Love, Girls Under Pressure and Girls Out Late. She tackles the everyday issues that really count (school, boys, family life, friendship, bad hair, imperfect bodies...) perfectly capturing the raw emotions her characters endure through their daily lives, while telling a darn good story that will leave readers asking, "How soon can we read the next one?".

My favourite book - Rated
It was a great book and i thought it was a bit mean when one of her friends the girls friends kissed her boyfriend. But i was glad when they were friends again. It was the best book i ever read so far.

Fantastic non fictional Teen terror - Rated
One of 4 of Jaqueline Wilsons fabulous teen books, Girls in Tears is a really realistic teen book. Reading this book made me forget all about my troubles and made me think ho lucky i was knowing that they were having the worse luck in the world. Magda, Ellie and Nadine are back but they are not very happy. Ellie's magical romance with Russel is looking very wobbly and Magda has suffered the loss of her precious little hamster. Everything is going wrong for the girls but can there friendship stay together through this tough time, read this marvelous book to find out.

This book is really great... - Rated
I think this book is really great, about three girls, Nadine, Magda and Ellie. Even though I'm not sure if it's is very useful for kids under 12. There are some parts I didn't want to read but most of them are great and amazing, written by the greatest author, Jacqueline Wilson. It shows the life of girls in 9th grade. I think it'd be a very good gift for girls who are in 9th grade.

It keeps going! - Rated
The series gets better and better! This is really good book! Catch up with Ellie Nadine and Magda laugh with them then cry with them!
