I don't need a best friend. I have plenty of things to get on with. Like, well, um. Hmmm. Ok, that's not a good sign. Jessica and Natalie have been best friends since their finger-painting days. They've shared everything, including a sense of humour that has led to some of the most hilarious times ever! And nothing can ever change that, not even the arrival at school of new girl, Amelia. Except it actually changes everything. Amelia is mean, and a snob, and she and Natalie start acting as if Jessica doesn't exist. But Jessica's got a plan, and a secret weapon. The cartoon is mightier than, er, being left out of everything...

Honestly, I don't know why my parents are so annoyed by our boring old neighbours. Amelia is much worse than them. The Van Derks don't tell me my jacket is rubbish and then invite Natalie over for the weekend, but not me, and then go on about all the popcorn and chocolate ice-cream they are going to eat while watching 15 certificate films, right in front of me. I mean, if the Van Derks did do that, I could see why my parents were bothered by them.
