Critics Review
The perfect books for anyone starting secondary school. Warm, funny and wise. – Holly Bourne
A funny, sweet and touching “big school” book, ideal for 9+ fans of Jacqueline Wilson. * Guardian *
Relatable, real and really funny … This warm, true-to-life story will hit the spot with so many readers. * Karen McCombie, author *
Funny, touching and wise… as good as Jacqueline Wilson at her best * The Bookseller *
Heartfelt and funny, this is a story about staying true to yourself, no matter what - and about real friendship * Sinéad O’Hart, author of The Time Tider *
A fresh, funny story filled with feelings around the highs and lows and ins and outs of friendship. Lisa Williamson and Jess Bradley feel a perfect pairing and have brilliantly captured the seismic shifts of changing schools, house and friendship groups. * Jake Hope – Youth Libraries Group *
This is a delight! It’s warm and engaging, and perfectly pitched. Lisa’s characters are spot on! We are all Lola and we all know a Cleo. * Abie Longstaff, author of The Trapdoor Mysteries Series *
I absolutely loved Best Friends Forever. It’s a warm, funny and bittersweet story of growing up and growing apart. This will resonate with so many young people, especially those leaving primary school. Lisa’s writing is honest and heartfelt, and her portrayal of Lola’s struggle to hold on to her best friend and fit in at her new school whilst remaining true to herself was captivating to read and felt so real. It’s a best friend in a book. I just loved it. * Tamsin Winter, author of Bad Influence *
