Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Dixie is the youngest of the Diamond family. She and her sisters, dreamy Martine, glamorous Rochelle and tough Jude, could hardly be more different from each other but their Mum's tried to teach them the value of sticking together. Now Mum's expecting yet another baby and she's convinced this one's a boy. Time to move to a bigger place, she insists, and the girls scarcely have time to protest before they find themselves at their new house. It's rough, dilapidated and filthy and before they've even unpacked the furniture, Mum goes into labour By the time Mum comes home with the new baby, Jude's been in a fight, Rochelle's found a new boyfriend and Martine's stormed off. Only Dixie stays loyally by Mum's side - so only Dixie spots her secret-Another slice of realistic contemporary life, from the UK's most popular children's author.
Dixie, Rochelle, Jude and Martine, these sisters, 'the diamond girls', all have different fathers! They have moved into a terrible run-down estate and after barely five minutes Rochelle's flirting, Jude's fighing and Martine's storming off. Even though Dixie's the youngest, she's desperate to get the house fixed up before Mum comes home with her new baby. First person recount. Suggested level: intermediate, junior secondary.
