Diamond Girls is one of the best books I have ever read. It is full of adventure, fun, surprises and is generally a fantastic story. In this book there are five main characters. They are Dixie, Rochelle, Jude, Martine and Mum. The story starts when Mum announces that she is having a baby and that they would all be moving house. At first they couldn't wait because it sounded so glamorous but when they arrived, they realized that it was't the beautiful house they'd seen on the photo but a horrible dump where everything was dirty, untidy and absolutely revolting. The girls tried their hardest to tidy it up but even after days of hard work, it was still terrible.  The only good part of it was the garden. Dixie had incredible fun in it and even met a new friend called Mary.  After lots of adventures, everyone has a happy ending.  Overall it is a FANTASTIC book and I would reccomend it to children above six.
