Format:Hardcover
I read this book and immediately I knew that it would have pride of place on my bookshelves.Filled with detail,the superb writing made me feel as if I was actually in the same room as the two main characters, India and Treasure. I could particularly relate to India's frustration at times .
The keeping of diaries filled with secrets and the lives of the two girls truly brings out the outstanding originality of this story. With Treasure's currently happy life with her nan, which is continuously troubled by the prospect that she might have to go and live back with her mum and terrible stepfather and India's constant battle with her mother about her weight, on top of her dad who is apparently too busy to take notice of India anymore, you are slowly drawn into the lives of the girls throughout the book.
I loved this book, and I would seriously recommend it to anyone who enjoys a great book with an original storyline. It keeps my eyes glued to the pages whenever I read it.

I have bought a few Jacqueline Wilson books for my 11 year old grandaughter in the past year or two. We have mostly enjoyed them together as 'independent reading' which she does for school.When we began SECRETS we were both quite taken aback at some of the themes in this book, like domestic violence, child abuse, adultery,embezellment and a nana whose boyfriend is in jail. I seriously question whether these themes are appropriate reading for pre,or even for early teenage girls
Nowhere on the blurb of the book are these themes mentioned; they are glossed over.Terry is merely described as a "bullying stepfather." In SECRETS, Ms Wilson seems to have lost the plot (if you'll pardon the pun and the cliche)No more of her books for my grandaughter, that's for sure. Very disappointing!

Secrets is a very touching book about two girls and their life.India an Anne Frank addict meets a girl called Treasure.Treasure lives with her nan in a flat.She is trying to get away from her mum and mean step dad.And when Treasure runs away India is the only one who can help her.I rate this book 10/10 and i think 10-13 is a suitable age group for this excellent book.

A good book~but with a little too much violence.
This book was very good, and I loved the constant references to Anne Franks diary. However, I felt that the violence in it was too strong ~ like Treasure's stepdad scarring her... Read more

Secrets
The book 'Secrets' is really good because you read about real life, and each chapter is switched between a girl called 'Treasure' and a girl called 'India'. Read more
