Product Description

Review
Shrinking Violet Grown-ups love Bridget Jones' diary, but youngsters will adore Violet Alexander's. Liverpool Echo Excellent for any nine-up and will almost certainly lead to an addiction to Ure. Observer Becky Bananas 'The writing transcends any trace of heaviness.' Guardian Fruit and Nutcase 'Jean Ure never puts a foot wrong.' Daily Telegraph The Secret Life of Sally Tomato 'Rhymes, sauciness, letters, irony, comedy, comic characters... a proper little turn-on for boys. A must-buy book.' Books for Keeps

Liverpool Echo
`Grown-ups love Bridget Jones' Diary, but youngsters will adore Violet Alexander's.'

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love this book!, 30 Oct 2004
By A Customer
I loved this book!! It's about these 2 twins called Lily and Violet. Lily is really noisy, has lots of friends, goes to loads of parties - and Violet, doesn't. Violet also finds it difficult to make friends so one day she got a great idea - to find a pen-pal! The story is told by Violet and it speaks mostly about her and her penfriend, Katie! I really enjoyed reading it! It's my favourite book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, 24 Jul 2004
I thought that this book was really good! Its about 2 twins called Lily and Violet. Lily Loudmouth, her dad calls her. Violet is really shy and quiet.
Violet finds it difficult to make friends, until she finds a pen pal called Katie and one day they decide to meet up.

This book is a must read!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really cool!, 19 Feb 2005
I think this was a great book. It vividly portrays Violet's despair about always being in Lily's shadow. The book is about Violet, and Lily, twin sisters who are completely disparate. Lily's outgoing, popular and showy, and Violet's shy, quiet and subdued. Then Violet finds a pen pal, called Katie. Katie and Violet have a lot in common...I'd better not ruin the ending!
Overall, I reccommend you buy this book.
