When I was a young girl, my favourite thing to do was to read, which I am proud to say has  rubbed off onto my two boys.  I loved Judy Blume, and Jacqueline Wilsons books are a modern day equivalent.  ‘

Kiss” is aimed at 12+.  It is a story about friendship and the reality of growing up and the challenges of sexuality, first love and heartbreak.  Sylvie and Carl have been best friends since they were small, and have done everything together, Sylvie always believed they would get married but…Carl has a new special friend called Paul. 

Things in Sylvie's life are about to change.

Being a worrier when I was young (and not so young)  I wish I had found a friend like Clarice Bean to help me through my worries when I was a kid!   What a delightful book.

‘Always remember: its the worry you haven't even thought to worry about that should worry you the most!  That's what Ruby Redfort would say.  I have got her SURVIVAL HANDBOOK’…. says Clarice Bean. 

Clarice writes all her worries down in her notebook but one of her biggest worries is about to become reality, change.
