Being 10 has not been easy for Mandy White. It's bad enough she has to waar her hair in braids and her mom picks out her clothes. Now, Kim has emerged as the most popular girl in class, and has stolen Mandy's former best friend Sarah. The only person who seems to care is Authur King, but a boy? When an unfortunate and embarassing accident forces mandy to stay home for a few days, she notices a new girl in the neighborhood. This girls doesn't have to wear baby clothes, she wears heels and shorts and cropped tops and has spikey hair and wears makeup. The two girls form an unlikely friendship. The combination of Mandy and Tanya provides both girls with new insights, and strengths, and helps them face some of the challenges in their lives. This is a great book for the pre-teen agegroup.

Jacqueline Wilson's "Bad Girls" is such a good book.I would recommend it to just about anyone.It's about a girl named Mandy White who has three girls teasing her at school.Mandy meets a girl named Tanya, but Mandy finds out that Tanya does not really know what's wrong to do, even though people are not watching you. This book has great pictures, and it is written beautifully!You have to read this book!!!!!!! by Courtney

This book was a fabulous example of Jacqueline Wilson's work. It showed me the problems that could go on in life, and how lucky i am. Jacqueline Wilson is a sensational childrens writer, she is a women with a special talent, she can write books, no ordinary books, but eye catching, amazing, wonderful books. Bad Girls is one fabulous, colourful book. I recommend it to children of any age. Save up your pocket money because this book is a must have!

I love this book I am a great fan of Jacqueline Wilson and this is definitely her best yet- it's even better than 'double act'. Which says something! It's deals with alot of issues: stealing and bullying as two examples. It teaches people how to deal with them. There is one character in the story that I really hated. This proved how well Wilson had developed her characters and given them personality. I would recommend it thoroughly.

Read this book, and you shall be utterly mesmerised! Nick Sharret's detailed pictures make it even more value for your money! Belive me, when it comes to this truly fantastic book, its worth the wait.

A book about Mandy White, a 10 year old girl that looks like she's 8. She meets Tanya across the street. Tanya has horrible roots but that doesn't effect the girls' friendship. Mandy becomes alarmed when her and Tanya go shopping and Tanya shoplifts. Once Tanya gets caught they try to run away. Tanya and Mandy get caught while Tanya is trying to catch Mandy. Tanya tells the police that Mandy is innocent so they let Mandy go. Tanya ends up going to Juvenile Hall.
This is my all-time favorite book, EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT!!!

This is a moving, angry, and sometimes funny tale from Jacqueline Wilson.

The book's about a ten-year old girl called Mandy White who certainly doesn't look 10. She doesn't really like herself and gets bullied at school by mean, bossy Kim and her nasty gang.

One day Kim's behaviour really gets out of control, and Mandy gets knocked down by a bus.

While recovering from the accident, Mandy meets a girl called Tanya who's really cool and dresses like she's 16, not 14, and wears her hair in this ultra-cool style. She immediately befriends Mandy and Mandy's life gets much, much better, even though Kim and her gang of girls still torment her. It doesn't matter that Tanya's not from a very good background and Mandy gets treated like a baby.

Read the book to find out more.

Mandy White gets bullied at school by a gang of girls and then he meets Tanya.
Bad Girls is about mummy's girl Mandy and foster child Tanya, and the adventures they get up to together.
I really enjoyed reading bad girls. It takes you a couple of chapters to get into the book but when you do you cant put it down! Some parts of Bad Girls are sad some funny and some happy. The illustrations really help you get into the book and help you understand the atmosphere. I would highly recommend Bad Girls for Jacqueline Wilson fans and even to people who haven't read any of her books!

I recommend that parents read this with their kids (esp younger readers, eg, my daughter is 8yo but loves Jacqueline Wilson books) rather than leaving them to read on their own. It contains a few confronting issues, eg, references to a parent's suicide and drug abuse, that may need a little explaining. Otherwise, i think it is a really valuable book - not only enjoyable for kids but brings up some really pertinent issues for young people, eg, bullying and friendship, the importance of not judging people, dealing with 'uncool' parents etc etc. There are a lot of kids like Tanya and Mandy out there and books like this are helpful in giving a better sense of the complexity of their situations. I also liked the way Mandy's mother was portrayed, ie, her character displayed a level of complexity not normally found in books for this age group.
