Publisher Description
‘Up at the top the lights are still flashing and the queue is even bigger and all around me there are girls much taller than me, much prettier than me, much much much thinner than me.’
Magda is tall and glamorous, but she’s worried that her appearance is giving guys the wrong idea.
Nadine is willowy and gothic – she wants to be a model, but the industry is unforgiving.
And Ellie…well, Ellie is convinced she’s fat.
The pressure is on for the girls to change the way they look – but can they learn to love themselves the way they are?
Girls Under Pressure is the second of Jacqueline Wilson’s popular Girls series, sensitively handling self-esteem issues in a light-hearted, relatable way.
This book features an unfiltered depiction of an eating disorder. Not suitable for younger readers.
Ellie, Magda and Nadine’s journeys continue in the series:
1. Girls in Love
2. Girls Under Pressure
3. Girls Out Late
4. Girls in Tears

Customer Reviews
Well written
This book promotes girls of all sizes, which, depending on a person’s mindset, can be either positive or negative. This book has some strong language and subjects. I would recommend it for anyone 11-12 years+.
Review of "Girls Under Pressure"
This is probably my favourite Jacqueline Wilson book. I loved the storyline, how even though it was funny it had a sad and powerful message underneath. Jacqueline really seems to understand anorexia and what a desperate and sad illness it is. This is a
really great book. Well done Wilson!
