Girls In Tears

Product Information

The person I think I’ve always been angriest with is Nadine for that one last kick to the gut, choosing Magda. I mean, it is meant to be in a collection but if you read it on its own it’s just fine, as the story makes total sense as well, but if you want to you can read the first two books first, although I don’t feel it is necessary. Another one of Russell's toxic traits is the way he completely plagiarises Ellie's original character and art style and uses it for an art competition, and compares it to Ellie adapting her late mother's original character into her own. In 2002 Jacqueline was awarded the OBE for services to literacy in schools and from 2005 to 2007 she was the Children’s Laureate. Looking bad, it's a perfectly good story (especially across the 4 books) BUT I still remain baffled about what age range these books should be for?

Her books are great at getting children to really think about actions and their consequences, really opening the eyes of children to the world. Ellie is bubbly fun and worries a little about her weight, Magda attracts all the boys and is like a friend you can always rely on and Nadine is full on goth chick and a little selfish and russel is tall dark and handsome like batman and just a tidg of schoolboy. Ellie, Magda and Nadine are back - and, as usual, they've got all sorts of trouble with school, parents and boyfriends.Magda suddenly has a pet (even though it wasn't mentioned before), Ellie suddenly holds her mother's Myrtle Mouse creation dear to her heart (even though it wasn't mentioned before), Ellie mentions she's come in before her friends for the first time ever (even though she came in before them in Girls Out Late) and everyone is downright horrible to one another. After being one of the best book series ever in my opinion, this was where the Girls series came crashing down. Just because he’s the first boy to show and interest in her doesn’t mean she should be willing to overlook anything. And Nadine is fed up with the other two lecturing her about the dangers of meeting someone on the Internet - she thinks her online boyfriend sounds wonderful! Jacqueline Wilson's Girls In Tears is the fourth instalment in her successful Girls series, following the lives and loves of three buddies--Ellie, Magda and Nadine--each very different but each bound by an absolute bond of friendship.

Where the previous book saw the girls go off with a group of strange men, this one has Ellie and her friends getting drunk at a party.It would have been nice if the conclusion was Ellie getting wise to this and ditching him for good, but no, she cries her eyes out, he draws her a stupid "whoops, I'm so sorry I invited you to a party and then got off with your best friend" picture and she goes running back to him. Honestly, it wasn't what I expected it to be, maybe because I'd read Jacqueline's books when I was younger. There’s fat shaming, slut shaming, some very dodgy comments about trans people, cheating without consequences, unhealthy opinions about diets and body image. Wilson (Double Act) here introduces an animated heroine who delivers droll observations in a self-assured voice with a decidedly British accent.

When this first came out in 2002, I was 16 years old and already considered myself ‘too old’ to read Jacqueline Wilson anymore - and if this writing is anything to go by, I certainly was. russell is sex crazed, disgusting, jealous and rude and she's still thinking about getting back together with him?

All the characters are comical stereotypes of teenage boys and girls (The girls are very emotional and cry and fall out a lot and the boys only talk about sex) and at the end of the book - at the end of the SERIES - she gets back together with the guy who repeatedly tried to pressure her into sex, passed her work off as his own, emotionally abused her and then cheated on her with her best friend. my favorite characters are Nadine because I like her goth style ,and Magda because she is fun and loveable . Russell is a jealous sex crazed maniac and yet somehow like she has always done with her friends, she’s willing to forget it all and start again despite in this case the clear warnings that his actions weren’t okay long before he tried to shag her supposedly unattractive friend. This fourth installment came out a couple of years later and I don't remember ever reading it -- I think I'd moved on by then. this book is amazing for young teenagers it is perfect, there is laughing, crying and DRAMA of course, i would recommend this book to anyone between th age of 11 to 15.

I wonder if Ellie and Russel will ever get back together, will Ellie and Magda be friends again and will Nadine find mr wonderful she has bee looking for all her life ? Girls in Tears is the fourth and final book that follows teenager Ellie and her two friends, Magda and Nadine. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. And Nadine is fed up with the other two lecturing her about the dangers of meeting someone on the Internet.Nadine has turned into a selfish, snobby person overnight, Magda is ridiculously shallow and vain, and Russell has gone from being a little hot-headed and controlling to a plain horrible boyfriend, even downright stealing Ellie's design.
