(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Nick Sharratt. Gemma's friend Alice is moving to Scotland, and both girls are distraught. They try running away from Alice's farewell party, almost catching the train to London. Gemma is disgraced; Alice moves away; the grownups are unsympathetic. The story manages an ending that is realistic but happy--while new horizons and new friends appear, Gemma and Alice remain "best friends forever."
