This is a real heart warming story that will trigger many thoughts in a young child’s mind – both sadness and happiness - but it will also provide the realisation that when best friends are separated it doesn’t mean that friendship is lost. Definitely well worth the read.

Gemma and Alice, born on the same day, have been devoted best friends ever since. Despite Gemma's larger-than-life personality and Alice's quieter, calmer character, the two are inseparable -- until Alice has to move house, all the way to Scotland. Ages 8+.
