Jacqueline Wilson has created a masterpiece which is one of my favourite books. Secrets is about a friendship between two people from two different backgrounds. India lives in the lap of luxury on a posh housing estate. Her mum is a famous children''s clothes designer and her dad is top man at a top company. But India is far from happy with her life. Her uptight anorexic mother does little to hide her disappointment in her chubby offspring, and her dad is decidedly distracted these days, so India follows in the footsteps of her heroine Anne Frank and reveals all in her secret diary. Treasure lives in a council flat with her glamorous, line-dancing Nan but is scared she may one day have to go back to live with her mum. She, too, keeps a diary but hers is called the Terrible Terry Torture Manual and is filled with all the things she would like to do to get her own back on her bullying stepfather. Nan takes her to hospital where she lies to keep Terry out of trouble and then Treasure stays with her Nan for a while. Treasure meets India one day while coming back from school, at the bike park. They become good friends and see each other often. Treasure, the floppy-haired string bean, and India, the rotund red-head, meet by chance and against the odds forge a friendship that is tested to the limit when Treasure runs away to avoid having to go and live with her mum and Terry again. The frightened little girl takes refuge in her new best friend''s attic, while India relishes the chance to take care of a real Anne Frank...
