Jessica and Natalie are best friends again, but things have changed a bit. Jessica’s got new friends now and the comic that they’ve put together has just launched in school to great acclaim. Jess is really enjoying her new-found fame and starts to neglect the wildlife project she’s doing with Natalie. But Scarlett, a new cartoonist on the block, is after her comic crown. It’s felt-tip pens at dawn!

This book told me that you can't just expect to be on the front cover of every magazine that you draw a comic in, and definitely remember to never trust your friend's friend's (your enemy) cousin.

This book is amazing because it shows a view of the girls life and what is going on in her mind at the times of the events. I would highly recommend this book to people who love funny books.

I really liked the doodles on the pages and that they made their own comic just like grown ups. I loved how Natalie and Jess can resolve they issues quickly and their amazing friendship. I also liked this book because at the end everything fell into the rightful places and Jess was back in the comic team.

Jessica’s life is complete! She was got her best friend Nat back (mostly), her comic is about to be launched (in the playground) and nutty Aunty Joan has come to stay! When Amelia (the best-friend thief) invites Jess and Nat over for a sleepover, Amelia only happens to invite her super-cool, super-annoying cousin Scarlett, who only happens to draw cartoons as well! However, Jessica doesn’t like the look of her at all! Scarlett black-targets Jessica wherever she goes, and even talks about Jess’ ‘out of fashion cheap stuff’ clothes! Jessica even reckons she tells lies, as she said her belt was Prada, and then said it was Gueei, she then said she was vegetarian, and when Scarlett bumps into Jessica on the street, they order hot dogs together and Scarlett insists she eats meat again. When Jessica was out shopping with Amelia, Natalie and Scarlett, Jessica also said she was stealing soap. Soon, Jessica falls out with the comic group because they want Scarlett’s cartoons. Why won’t anyone believe her? And what’s with all the ‘tightening belts with Super Saver Value’ at home? Something’s going on, and Jessica will sort it!

Others should read this book because I think that many people could relate to the funny, sarcastic and likeable main character Jessica.

Just like the other books in this series, this book is full of tears, happiness and, well, any emotion you could think of! Jessica and her friends are back for another story. I would recommend this book for girls aged 8-12.

Coach Agnetha Supermarket Good book! Some sentences were a bit confusing but apart from that this book is great. This is more of a girly book and I'd say it's for readers aged 8 or 9+.
