Little Darlings: Two Very Different Girls - One Extraordinary Friendship!

Product Information

As well as winning many awards for her books, including the Children’s Book of the Year, Jacqueline is a former Children’s Laureate, and in 2008 she was appointed a Dame.

Sunset a Destiny sa spolu stretnú na premiére filmu Milky Stars, kde chce Destinina mama Destiny predstaviť Dannymu Kilmanovi. Keď sa im to však nepodarí, skúsia sa do Dannyho domu vlámať a tam sa Sunset a Destiny spriatelia, a nič by ich nemalo zastaviť pred tým, aby boli aj naďalej kamarátkami. Ani rozzúrená mama, veľká vzdialenosť či talentová súťaž... Jacqueline is also a great reader, and has amassed over 20,000 books, along with her famous collection of silver rings. Lucy Murphy, director of kids content, Sky UK and Ireland, said: “Dame Jacqueline Wilson is one of the UK’s most beloved children’s authors, so we’re thrilled to be bringing Little Darlings to life on our screens supported by the exceptional musical talents of Lemar and Jamelia and this diverse cast of talented young actors – this tale of family bonds, celebrity and sisterhood really has something for everyone.” Destiny, dcéra chudobnej mamy, s ktorou sa starajú jedna o druhú a nevlastná sestra Sunset. Chudoba sa jej moc nepáči, a radšej by bola s trochu viac peniazmi. Alongside Lemar and Jamelia, Janae Vito plays Destiny and Diaana Babnicova plays Sunset. They are supported by Kayla Mai Alvares as Sunset’s sassy younger sister, Sweetie, and Cameron Douglas as Ace, her tiger-obsessed brother. The series also stars Rufus Jones as Danny’s agent, with series writer Nathan Bryon playing Kate’s hairdressing business partner.Double Act won the prestigious Smarties Medal and the Children’s Book Award as well as being highly commended for the Carnegie Medal. The Story of Tracy Beaker won the 2002 Blue Peter People’s Choice Award. Both Sunset and Destiny's chapters only properly connected at the end of the book. Before this they could have been two completely different books.

Both series are produced by Kindle Entertainment, who have adapted many of Dame Jacqueline Wilson’s books including Bafta and Emmy-winning Dustbin Baby and Four Kids and It for Sky Cinema. NBCUniversal Global Distribution will handle international sales of the series. Wilson skilfully combines an approachable and involving teenage story with a debate about true friendship, sexual identity and growing up. Lemar said: “I’m so excited to be a part of Little Darlings. Sky Kids and the team at Kindle have been amazing and getting to work alongside great crew, cast members, and friends has been a real breath of fresh air. I love what this show represents… something positive with a bit of humour for the whole family!” I bought this book expecting it to be quite boring. So receiving this book for Christmas I had low expectations for Little Darlings, but it managed to surprise me and grab me. Sunset's character was fairly developed; it's clear how her mum's constant nagging affected her confidence and I enjoyed reading the passages where she retreated into 'Wardrobe City' and found comfort in her imagination, and later channelled this creativity into songwriting. Her parents intense arguments force her to step up and help take care of her two younger siblings, and she develops a sweet bond with the nanny Claudia which was a nice addition and good way of including an adult voice to condemn her parents' behaviour within the story.Did you know you can flag iffy content?
