About this ebook

Dixie is the youngest Diamond girl. She and her sisters - dreamy Martine, glamorous Rochelle and tough Jude - could hardly be more different, but their mum has always 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. She insists they move to a bigger place - but it's rough, dilapidated and filthy, and before they've even unpacked, Mum's gone into labour! Can the Diamond girls pull together in time for her to come home? And will anyone spot Mum's little secret but Dixie?

Ratings and reviews

Older teens and pre-teens will like this read, but you should be older than eleven if reading. It's got teen pregnancy, and as another user said, a loony mother and slightly cuss word in. Dixie's mom thinks that her girl baby's a boy, and there's things not for under-tens. So not a not-buy, BUT...

I don't care about anybody elts' opinion of this book, it's wonderful to find Dixie and the Diamond Girls has been on here since 2008. Thank you so much - I've been looking for this and it's so much cheaper too! Bless the world of Nexus'!

I LOVE IT!!! It's my 2nd favrioute J.W book EVER! I don't want to spoil it, so read it right now because it's a mash-up of Family, drama and sticking together.
