Suddenly Selma finds herself pushed to the edge of the group, feeling like the odd one out on a beach that was supposed to be all about the two of them. As sandcastles are built and secrets are shared, Selma has to work out how to hold onto her friendship with Tina without losing herself in the process. It's only when the girls discover a shared love of butterflies that things start to look up, offering a sweet reminder that even the strongest friendships need a little care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten specially for World Book Day 2017, Butterfly Beach is set in the same warm, funny world as Jacqueline Wilson's much-loved Butterfly Club books, though it works perfectly as a stand-alone story too. With Wilson's trademark warmth and honesty about childhood friendships, plus Nick Sharratt's instantly recognisable black-and-white illustrations scattered throughout, this is a quick, satisfying read that will appeal hugely to existing Jacqueline Wilson fans and newcomers alike. At just 80 pages, it's an ideal introduction for reluctant readers or a lovely stocking-filler-sized treat for avid ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort, accessible story perfect for confident young readers or as a step up from chapter books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by multi-award-winning, million-copy-bestselling author Jacqueline Wilson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrated throughout by long-time collaborator Nick Sharratt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores real, relatable themes of friendship, jealousy and belonging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat value gift or World Book Day treat for readers aged 7 and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDame Jacqueline Wilson is one of the UK's most celebrated children's authors, with sales of over 40 million books in the UK alone.
