Best Friends - Softcover

"Wilson is doing something important and rare. She's so good, it's exhilarating." --Philip Pullman

"Wilson blends the spunk of Ramona Quimby with the impulsiveness of Joey Pigza, with the resulting disasters being about what one would expect. . . . Readers will appreciate the reassurance that it's perfectly okay to feel sad and angry when a friend moves away." --School Library Journal

"While stories about best friends separated by moving are plentiful, Wilson's British fillip makes this one original, with Gemma's strong first-person voice and personality and Sharratt's black-and-white drawings in strip-style sketches before each chapter teasing the reader and forecasting the next turn of events." --Kirkus Reviews

"Believable, sympathetic characters; recognizable home and school situations; and plenty of humor (including some of the cake-in-the-face sort) will ensure that this becomes, like Wilson's other titles, a popular read for middle-grade girls." --Booklist
