Gemma is intimidated by Flora's friendship with Alice and approval from Alice's mother (including when Flora lies about Alice saying Gemma's family are "quite poor" regarding how a china doll came to fruition - Gemma's late grandmother left the doll to her, which she later gave Alice). She appears traumatised when she and her parents move away to Scotland, having been parted from Gemma. He has won numerous awards for his picture books, including the Sheffield Children's Book Award and the 2001 Children's Book Award. Best Friends by Jacqueline Wilson is the story of two friends, Gemma and Alice, who share the same birthday and always wish to remain best friends forever when they blow the candles out on their cake.
In 2002 Jacqueline was awarded the OBE for services to literacy in schools and from 2005 to 2007 she was the Children’s Laureate. so now they have to do something to make them still have a tight friendship that could last a whole life time and try and stop them from breaking apart from each other. If you've got a best friend you will be able to imagine how Gemma and Alice feel when Alice's parents decide to move a long way away, to Scotland: I took a deep breath, as if I was about to blow out all the candles on my birthday cake all by myself for the first time.A heart-warming book about losing your best friend, this shows you how Gemma feels when Alice appeared to pal up with Flora who Gemma hates. Gemma is sure they share everything – until she finds out that Alice has something she’s not sharing: a secret that will change their friendship forever. In the TV series she is a ceasing smoker, which was not mentioned in the book, and works very hard as a self employed beauty therapist. Gemma's grandfather invites her to accompany him on a trip to Scotland when he is hired to taxi a client from Scotland to London.
Alice is a quiet and shy girly girl who is the exact opposite of Gemma, and that's why they get along so well.
Each year they wish to be ‘best friends for ever and ever and ever’ and they appear to have an unbreakable bond.
