3a. Listen and read the review of the book Best Friends by Jacqueline Wilson and point out parts of this review.

Best Friends is a book by Jacqueline Wilson, who is the author of more than a hundred works, including award-winning books The Suitcase Kid, The Lottie Project, Bad Girls, The Story of Tracy Beaker, Vicky Angel and the Girls four-book series.

Best Friends is about a little girl called Gemma. She’s a tomboy (a girl who takes part in activities and games that people think are better for boys), always getting into trouble and annoying adults – but she’s actually a lovely, real, believable child whom you can’t but like. Her best friend is Alice, though they are completely the opposite. Alice is very girly with her dolls, ballet classes and pretty party dresses.

They have been friends all their lives as they were born in the same hospital on the same day. They have celebrated all their birthdays together and have always been best friends, hoping it will be so forever.

But then Alice’s father gets a new job and they have to move house. The girls hate the idea of being separated, so they make up a plan to run away together. But what happens then? You’ll have to read the book yourself to learn it.

Best Friends examines the ending of one friendship and the beginning of a new one. But the author does not only examine the main characters. We also discover the relationships¹ between children and their parents. Sometimes Gemma and Alice believe their parents are being unkind, but they also understand how helpful, kind and loving they are. We can also see the relationships between children and their grandparents. All of these are described in a realistic and believable way, where love is placed at the top, which is a great positive message for readers.

Overall, the book is really fascinating, enjoyable and encouraging. The characters are so realistic that you are transported [trænsˈpɔːtɪd] into their world and become part of it. It’s an excellent read.

Though it is more of a girly book than one for boys, everyone, including girls, boys and grown-ups, will find something interesting for themselves. Once (= when) they start reading it they will end up swallowing («проглатывая») a hundred pages at one sitting and only stopping because it’s late at night.
