About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed reading this book, it took me about 2 days to read it, because I got really stuck in, and it was very easy to imagine the sad and happy events that happened to Floss. Obviously, her so called best friend, wasn't really much of a best friend then. Floss is a really kind girl, and Jacqueline Wilson wrote the book with a style that made you stick your head in it. And explore the world of Floss deeper and deeper!

I really enjoyed this book.
