About this ebook

"Then she grinned. I grinned. It was just as if we knew each other."

India lives in a HUGE house, but hardly gets any attention from her parents. She can't stand her mum, and though she absolutely adores her dad, he hasn't had much time for her lately. Feeling lonely, she seeks solace in her journal, inspired by her heroine Anne Frank.

Treasure lives on the local council estate, taken in by her loving and capable grandmother. She's completely devoted to her nan but is haunted by the fear of her violent stepdad.

A chance meeting sparks a great friendship between the girls, who become a bright spot in each other's lives.
When Treasure has to run away to avoid her stepfather, India comes up with a hiding place. She hasn't got a real secret annexe, but she has got a hidden attic...

Another brilliant book by Jacqueline Wilson - Scribbler

I love this book. I got it when I was 10 and when ever I have spare time I always read this book. The start is a bit horrible but as I read more of the book I felt more involved in the book. I love this book because it shows it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, you can still be best friends. Two girls ( Treasure and India) develop a deep friendship and both keep diaries. Soon both of their diaries are full of BIG SECRETS...
