Love, Peace and Chocolate: A Pocket Money Puffin

Jess and Kady have been best friends since they were three years old and now they're in year eight at Parkway Community School. They're on the edge of puberty but things have been a bit slow on the boyfriend front – not that either of them is looking to rush things, particularly as there isn't a single Y8 boy who can make their eyes light up. They've a good, solid friendship which means a lot to both of them and they both think that nothing can come between the girls. Unfortunately they hadn't taken the arrival of Jack Somers into account. Jack has rock star looks and a winning way with all girls. Both Jess and Kady are smitten, but in the early days Jess is fairly certain that she's the favoured one and when he starts dating Kady she can't cope with the disappointment. It's not long before cracks start to appear in the friendship – and finally there's a break. The trouble is that Jack Somers is more than happy to take advantage of his good looks and it's not long before Kady is heading for emotional upset too.
