Bad Girls

By Jacqueline Wilson
Adapted by Vicky Ireland

An energetic, fast-moving adaptation for the stage of this modern children's classic, by the best-selling author and 2005 Children's Laureate.

Mandy's been picked on at school for as long as she can remember. That's why she is delighted when cheeky, daring, full-of-fun Tanya picks her as a friend. Mum isn't happy - she thinks Tanya's a 'bad girl' and a bad influence. Mandy's sure Tanya can only get her out of trouble, not into it. But can she?

'Punchy, stimulating and theatrically ingenious... Bad Girls is a veritable model of theatre for young people' Manchester Evening News

'Vicky has adapted a handful of my books for the stage. I hope she works her magic on many more to come!' Jaqueline Wilson

This edition comes with production notes indicating how the play can be staged even with minimal resources - plus a lot of ingenuity!
