In Ellie, by Lesley Pearce, it is centred on two girls, Ellie and Bonny. The two girls meet in post-war Britain in London, and though in character they are the very opposite on one another, they become friends.
Ellie is a loving, kind, sweet natured brunette with a sparkling smile, while Bonny is a beautiful but spoilt blonde, who can be deceptive in many ways.

Why Alton Towers
We as a group chosen Alton Towers for many reasons, but mainly because it has many fantastic rides that will take your breath away, in addition to the fantastic scenery. We had heard from other friends that it's an adventure for children and adults alike.
