Summary from Barrington Stoke
Tilly has just started at her new secondary school and she’s the
luckiest girl in the world – she’s found Mia, her new Best Friend
Forever already! When Amber joins their class a few days later, Tilly
thinks she might have found another friend, but Mia starts to act a
little oddly - she says that Amber is a total liar. Who should Tilly
believe?
Nayuleska's thoughts
Tilly
learns what makes a good friend a friend, and what makes a bad friend the wrong
choice. This is a crucial lesson for everyone. It was hard for Tilly to get to
grips with what sort of knew in her heart. Mia can be forceful, making it hard
for Tia to do the right thing. While reading it I felt all the emotions Tilly
and Amber felt. The end is so sweet that I cried over the last line. Definitely
a feel good read, even though part of it makes you feel bad. True friendship
conquers all!
