Wilson is bang on form with this stirring story of
two young girls from opposite sides of the tracks
and the effect they have on each others' lives. 
India lives in the lap of luxury on a posh housing
estate. Her mum is a famous children's clothes
designer and her dad is top man at a top company.
But India is far from happy with her life. Her
uptight anorexic mother does little to hide her
disappointment in her chubby offspring, and her
dad is decidedly distracted these days, so India
follows in the footsteps of her heroine Anne Frank
and reveals all in her secret diary.  Treasure
lives in a council flat with her glamorous,
line-dancing Nan but is scared she may one day
have to go back to live with her mum. She, too,
keeps a diary but hers is called the Terrible
Terry Torture Manual and is filled with all the
things she would like to do to get her own back on
her bullying stepfather.  Treasure, the
floppy-haired stringbean, and India, the rotund
red-head, meet by chance and against the odds
forge a friendship that is tested to the limit
when Treasure runs away to avoid having to go and
live with her mum and Terry again. The frightened
little girl takes refuge in her new best friend's
attic, while India relishes the chance to take
care of a real Anne Frank...  Told via alternating
entries from the two very different diaries,
Secrets brims with the stuff of pre-teen childhood
(best friends, secrets, diaries and the allure of
other people's families) while cleverly combining
the swift realism of class barriers, broken homes
and society's deep-rooted suspicions.  Wilson does
it again in a story that will undoubtedly win her
new fans, but will also be warmly welcomed by
anyone who has read (or heard) The Illustrated
Mum, The Story of Tracy Beaker, Vicky Angel, The
Bed and Breakfast Star or any of the other superb
award-winning titles this remarkable author has
tucked safely under her belt. Ages eight and over.
Running time is five hours. --Susan Harrison

Review of Secrets - Jacqueline Wilson by Amy69

Advantages: detailed, descriptive, not too long
Disadvantages: can be slightly hard to follow

...Conclusion Secrets is a splendid read, providing you are able to follow the two characters' stories without too much difficulty. It goes into great detail and is very well written and worded too! Though, I would not say it is Jacqueline Wilson's best, it is still one I would recommend! ... Read review
