Ellie has a boyfriend! Interested in her rather than her best friends, Magda and Nadine! She and Russell are made for each other – drawn together by their shared enjoyment of art. If only Dad thought Russell was perfect too...

And as Ellie runs into trouble with a parent who thinks his daughter is too young for after-dark trysts in the park with oh-so-gorgeous Russell, Magda has a crush on a teacher and Nadine's falling for slimy Liam again. What they need is a girls' night out – but they might get a little more than they bargained for . . .

Meet Ellie and her best friends Nadine and Magda, three teenage girls just starting Year Nine with a lot on their minds - mainly boys! Magda is tall and glamorous, Nadine is willowy and 'gothic' and Ellie, well, Ellie thinks she is unattractive and boring and that no boy will ever be interested in her. The three girls have been best friends 'forever' even though they don't seem to have much in common. But one thing they all want is a boyfriend!

Join the girls as they work out how to deal with all the surprises that being a teenage can bring. Told in the bright, sparky and totally realistic voice of Ellie, this series for teens is a funny, frank and revealing look at their friendships, problems and heartaches. Sometimes sad, sometimes scary and often funny, don't miss this engaging and hugely popular series by the award-winning Jacqueline Wilson.
