Sylvie and Carl have been friends since they were tiny children. They've always played together, called each other boyfriend and girlfriend and even have a magic fantasy world that belongs to them alone. Deep down, Sylvie has always believed that they'd end up married.
But as they get older, things start to change.
Carl has a new friend, Paul, taking all his attention. Now, Carl seems much less happy to be called Sylvie's boyfriend - he even avoids having to kiss her in spin the bottle! Sylvie can tell his feelings have changed and that their future together might not be so clear-cut after all. But can she guess at the true reasons behind it all?
Touching and compelling, Kiss is a delicately handled coming-of-age tale of first love by award-winning Jacqueline Wilson.
