Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Bad Girls, Jacqueline Wilson's eighth title, is read here in unabridged form by Josie Lawrence. It 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 the 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 water. Bad Girls is a delightful and important book, dealing very well indeed with difficult emotional and social issues. The story is presented on three cassettes and runs for four hours and 20 minutes. --Tamsin Palmer

Bad Girls is Jacqueline Wilson's eighth title. Her previous books include The Suitcase Kid which won the 1993 Children's book Award, and Double Act, which won both the Smarties Prize and the Children's Book Award in 1995. 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. Bad Girls is a delightful and important book. Brightly written and amusingly illustrated by Nick Sharratt it deals very well indeed with difficult emotional and social issues. -- Tamsin Palmer

Format:Paperback
Another excellent book by Jacqueline Wilson. It is about a girl called Mandy. She is always getting bullied at school one day on her way home she gets hit by a bus. There are lots of different accounts of the incident and her mum wants to find out why her baby was really hurt. Suddenly when things couldn't get any worse a new girl moves in across the road and they become best buddies. Tanya, her new friend, seems to scare the bullies of one day when she comes to meet Mandy after school things seem to good to last and they are. Tanya has a dark secret that she has not told any one which Mandy finds out about by accident. Tanya can only get Mandy out of trouble or can she! I would suggest it to 6 - 12 year olds because it is funny, witty and realistic. This is another must read by this brilliant author

The story is about Mandy who was bullied in and out of school. Jacqueline Wilson wanted to tell this story to highlight the suffering of the innocent. The main relationship was between Mandy and Tanya who are best friends. The police caught Mandy and Tanya when Tanya went shoplifting. Kim, Melanie and Sarah provoked Mandy to cross the road, she ran into a bus. Mandy's mother told the head teacher, she tried to make things better for Mandy but it was no help as Kim, Melanie and Sarah found other ways of bulling Mandy. I think it is important to say that the book is FANTASTIC! I would recommend this book to children ages 8-11.

Format:Paperback
this was one of the best Jacqueline Wilson books I've ever read(Bad Girls) and I really enjoyed it.One of my favourite parts was when Tayna, Mandy's best friend, shouted at Kim the bully and kim went away and left Mandy alone for the first time.I can not tell you the best part because it will really spoil it so you'll just have to read the book to find out.

A sobering tale of school bullying
I think that Jacqueline Wilson books are a very marmite experience. You either love them, or you hate them. Read more
