Bigg School: Best Friends Forever by Jess Bradley
Lola and Evie have been BFF since they were babies, just like peas in a pod - and even though they don't end up in the same class, Lola expects everything to stay the same. At home things are tough because Lola's parents are divorcing and they're having to move the family home. So when the annoying Cleo becomes friendly with Evie, stealing her from Lola, three most definitely becomes a crowd. With illustrations that express the often hilarious inner lives of the characters, the Bigg School series tells stories of the extraordinary lives of ordinary kids navigating friendships, change and all the ups and downs of growing up.
