Double Act
Ruby and Garnet are ten-year-old twins. They're identical, and they do EVERYTHING together, especially since their mother died three years earlier - but they couldn't be more different. Bossy, bouncy, funny Ruby loves to take charge, and is desperate to be a famous actress, while quiet, sensitive, academic Garnet loves nothing more than to curl up with one of her favourite books. And when everything around the twins is changing so much, can being a double act work for ever?
Bad Girls
Shy, mild Mandy has been bullied at school for as long as she can remember. That's why she is delighted when cheeky, daring, full-of-fun Tanya picks her as a friend.
Mum isn't happy - she thinks Tanya's a BAD GIRL and a bad influence on her daughter. But Mandy loves spending time with her brilliant new friend, and is sure Tanya can only get her out of trouble, not into it . . . or could she?

Review:
This excellent value edition contains two full length novels by award- winning author Jacqueline Wilson: Double Act and Bad Girls.
Review:
In Double Act, Jacqueline Wilson brilliantly captures the pain and uncertainty that change can sometimes bring with it. This story of two little girls gradually realising that they have no real control over what is happening is both funny and poignant, but it is as the twins begin to accept that things will never be quite the same that Wilson shines, allowing her characters to grow and develop as individuals without ever losing sight of the bond that holds them together.
Bad Girls deals lightly but sensitively with the terrible pain suffered by a 10-year-old girl when she becomes the victim of vicious bullying at school. When the over-protected, intelligent Mandy is cast out by her so called girl "friends" at school she takes up with trendy, cheerful, 14-year-old Tanya. Because Mandy reminds Tanya of her much-loved kid sister in care and because she too is lonely the two quickly become best friends. But Tanya's unhappy life has made her turn to petty crime and before long Mandy finds herself in deep waters.
In both novels Jacqueline Wilson tackles difficult issues with sensitivity and humour. Her characters are real people who are growing, developing and learning to rise above the challenges and issues with which they are faced. (9 years upwards).
"A book of the highest quality. It will be very, very popular too. Hurrah!" (Mail on Sunday on BAD GIRLS)
"One of the most exact descriptions of girl-on-girl bullying I have ever read . . . painfully believable" (The Times on BAD GIRLS)
"Wilson's comic exploration of the twin-world shows the desire to separate fighting a powerful genetic magnetism. In a clever touch, each narrator is given a different illustrator" (Independent on Sunday on DOUBLE ACT)
"An exuberant story . . . the ingenious split narrative, inventive page design and lots of incidental pictures make this book irresistible" (Guardian on DOUBLE ACT)
"A hilarious tale which contains dark notes that ring very true" (The Times on DOUBLE ACT)
