"I keep a diary," Treasure said.
"I keep a diary, too," said India, and then she blushed.
"You girls!" said Nan. "Well, I don't keep a diary. I'm not confiding my secrets to anyone."
India lives in a large, luxurious house with a mum she can't stand and a rather distracted dad. Inspired by her heroine, Anne Frank, India keeps a diary full of the secrets she observes all round the house.
Treasure lives in a council flat with her nan, whom she adores. But she's scared of having to go back to live with her mother and brutish stepfather. She keeps a diary of ways to punish her stepfather, The Terrible Terry Torture Manual.
A chance meeting sparks a great friendship between the girls. When Treasure has to run away, India has an idea for an amazing hiding place based on the life of her favourite author. And that gives the girls their biggest secret ever.
