Synopsis

Gemma and Alice have been best friends since they were both born on the same day in the same hospital. It doesn't matter that Gemma loves soccer while Alice prefers drawing, or that Gemma is always getting into trouble while Alice is a model student and daughter. But when Alice has to move, their friendship is put to the test. They call each other and write letters, but they're used to seeing each other every day. Can Gemma bear to celebrate her birthday without Alice? Can she stand it when Alice starts making new friends? And with Alice living hundreds of miles away, will they ever see each other again?

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Can Gemma and Alice remain best friends forever when one of them has to move away? Another outstanding novel from a bestselling author.
"Alice is my very best friend. I don't know what I'd do without her.
Gemma and Alice, born on the same day, have been devoted best friends ever since. Despite Gemma's larger-than-life personality and Alice's quieter, calmer character, the two are inseparable - until that is Alice has to move house, all the way to Scotland. Gemma is utterly distraught, particularly at the thought that Alice might find a new best friend. Is there anything Gem's brothers, or perhaps her granddad, can do to help?
A charming, funny and touching story that new and younger girl fans of the hugely successful Jacqueline Wilson will adore. Established fans, especially male readers, will be delighted to re-encounter the flamboyant Biscuits, co-star of Buried Alive and Cliffhanger.
