Secrets

by Jacqueline Wilson

India lives in a grand house but feels invisible—ignored by her busy parents and longing for connection. She pours her feelings into a journal, inspired by her heroine Anne Frank. On the other side of town, Treasure lives on a council estate with her loving nan, but lives in fear of her violent stepdad.

When the two girls meet by chance, a powerful friendship blossoms. And when Treasure is forced to run away, India comes up with a plan—she may not have a secret annexe, but she does have a hidden attic. Together, they find the courage to rewrite their own story.
