Jacqueline Wilson Double Decker




Jump on board the Jacqueline Wilson Double Decker with two fantastic books in one!

Double Act

Ruby and Garnet are ten-year-old twins. They're identical, and they do EVERYTHING together, especially since their mother died three years earlier - but they couldn't be more different. Bossy, bouncy, funny Ruby loves to take charge, and is desperate to be a famous actress, while quiet, sensitive, academic Garnet loves nothing more than to curl up with one of her favourite books. And when everything around the twins is changing so much, can being a double act work for ever?

Bad Girls

Shy, mild Mandy has been bullied at school for as long as she can remember. That's why she is delighted when cheeky, daring, full-of-fun Tanya picks her as a friend.

Mum isn't happy - she thinks Tanya's a BAD GIRL and a bad influence on her daughter. But Mandy loves spending time with her brilliant new friend, and is sure Tanya can only get her out of trouble, not into it . . . or could she?

Praise for Jacqueline Wilson Double Decker

A book of the highest quality. It will be very, very popular too. Hurrah!

Mail on Sunday on BAD GIRLS

One of the most exact descriptions of girl-on-girl bullying I have ever read . . . painfully believable

The Times on BAD GIRLS

Wilson's comic exploration of the twin-world shows the desire to separate fighting a powerful genetic magnetism. In a clever touch, each narrator is given a different illustrator

Independent on Sunday on DOUBLE ACT

An exuberant story . . . the ingenious split narrative, inventive page design and lots of incidental pictures make this book irresistible

Guardian on DOUBLE ACT

A hilarious tale which contains dark notes that ring very true

The Times on DOUBLE ACT

Jacqueline Wilson has a distinctive narrative style with her spunky and articulate young heroines . . . A funny, punchy and quite moving read
