A warm-hearted, perfectly pitched new school series, for fans of Cathy Cassidy and Jacqueline Wilson
Hillcrest High Boys' School has admitted girls for the first time, but with only ten girls in the school, it hasn't been an easy start for Abby, Tara and their new friends.
With her sister still very ill, Abby's had it tougher than most. When she has the chance to go on holiday for half term, she's excited to get away from everything. And even more thrilled to meet a new friend, Gerry. Abby has never felt cool or popular, but Gerry makes her feel special. Together they have a blast...
Back at school, Abby's best friend Tara is more interested in talking about boys than asking how Abby is. So when Gerry turns up again, Abby wonders whether she's better off with her.
But what if Gerry isn't all that she seems?
