The third book in the popular "The Secrets Club" series by author Chris Higgins, for pre-teen girls. "The Secrets Club" - Alice, Tash, Dani and Lissa are in their first year at secondary. These girls are forging new friendships, facing fears and finding their way. Should they keep their secrets or share them with each other? In the first two books, Alice and Tash fessed up. Now it's Dani's turn. Should she admit to her friends that every weekend she plays football with a group of boys who don't even know she's a girl? "This book should be prescribed for all girls about to leave the safety of primary school, for reassurance, for information, and most of all-for fun!" (thebookbag.co.uk on "The Secrets Club: Alice in the Spotlight"). "A lively and engaging story about friendship". (Chicklish.co.uk on "The Secrets Club: Alice in the Spotlight").

Hi! I'm Tash. I love, love, love my new school Riverside Academy for Girly. I love everything about it: the lessons, every single one of them; playing in the Year Seven netboll and hockey teams (I'm netboll captain!); my new bestfriends, Dani, Lissa and Ali. Especially Ali.
But most of all I love the fact that it's nice and safe and predictable.
Not like home. I never know what to expect there any more. I Wish I could talk to my friends about it but I can't. I promised I Wouldn't.
It's not fair. I don't like keeping things from them. We said we'd tell each other everything.
But I'm not allowed.

Anna's bruised and upset by the collapse of her parents' marriage. So much of the fallout - including responsibility for her wayward younger sister - seems to be heading in her direction. All she wants is to get the exam results she needs to get herself to university - and away from this mess. She certainly wants nothing to do with boys - until Jem appears. Gradually he wins her trust, and becomes everything Anna needs him to be.
But Anna's about to discover that love stories don't always have happy endings...

A fast-paced gripping thriller for teenagers from the award-winning author of It's a 50/50 Thing, A Perfect 10, and Tapas and Tears.
