Second Best Friend
Two best friends are pushed to breaking point by the reveal of a dark secret in this gripping teen drama from a pitch-perfect voice in UKYA.
Jade and Becky have always been best friends; inseparable and often indistinguishable. But when a spiteful comment from an awful ex pushes Jade to the edge, she begins to see that she has always been second best in everything. When the school election offers her the chance to finally be number one, Jade learns just how far she is willing to go to be better than her best friend.
Particularly suitable for readers aged 13+ with a reading age of 9.
