About

CHOOSING BETWEEN PARENTS AND FRIENDS Candyfloss is the perfect introduction to Jacqueline Wilson. When Floss's mother and stepfather announce they are moving to Australia for six months, Floss has to decide whether to go with them or stay home with Dad-inept, but loving and always lots of fun. And, how will her choice affect her friendship with her popular but not-so-loyal best friend, Rhiannon?

About girls everywhere, for girls everywhere, Candyfloss speaks in universals: it's about friendship, family, and growing up in a complicated world. Like all Wilson's novels, it has an honesty and cheerful integrity that offers a real alternative to the materialistic values of so much fiction aimed at girls.

Reviews

"Floss, bless her brave little heart, is showing up in a publishing era that is largely ignoring stories like hers in favor of glitzier, sexier mean-girl fare. For girls who have outgrown Ramona, but are still wary of ""The Clique,"" Floss makes an able, admirable companion. She may not live next door, but you'll wish she did."
The New York Times Book Review
". . . a poignant, gently humorous, and totally satisfying tale. Flossie is charmingly believable . . ."
