ever have imagined.
6. Kiss by Jacqueline
Wilson
Sylvie and Carl have been friends since
they were tiny children. They've always played together, eaten with
each other's families, called each other boyfriend and girlfriend
and deep down, Sylvie has always believed that they'd end up
married to each other. They even have a a magical fantasy world
that belongs to them alone - and the glass hut, where it's all
created, at the bottom of Carl's garden. But as they become
teenagers, things are starting to change. They each have different
friends. Sylvie would still rather spend all her time with Carl.
But Carl has a new friend, Paul, who is taking all his attention.
And he seems much less happy to be called Sylvie's boyfriend. And
in a game of spin the bottle, he avoids having to kiss her. Sylvie
can tell his feelings have changed and that her plans for the
future may be affected. But can she guess at the true reasons
behind it all?

Baron Vengeous after the deadly armour of Lord Vile, and pretty
much everyone out to kill Valkyrie, the daring detective duo face
their biggest challenge yet. But what if the greatest threat to
Valkyrie is just a little closer to home?
