Glitter FM

Glitter Girls #1

Meet the Glitter Girls-they're the coolest girls you know! Hannah Charly, Zoe, Meg and Flo are the best of friends-they do everything together, and formed their extra-special gang (complete with secret passwords and their own jackets with GG embroidered on the back!)-a gang that gets to do the most excellent things. Like when they found out that the hospital radio couldn't have a children's programme because the DJ was off sick. The Glitter Girls had a brilliant idea-to do their very own show and call it Glitter FM! Watch out Sarah Cox, the Glitter Girls are the hottest new DJs around.!

I loved this book. A group of friends Meg, Flo, Charlie, Hannah and Zoe all decide to help out at the local hospital children’s radio station so that the sick children who have to stay in the hospital had something to listen to while the regular person was off sick.

With the help of the Glitter Girls, their school and Meg’s brother they create Glitter FM. They do requests, play their own favourite songs and send messages to the sick children while on air.

This series was one of my favourites when I was younger, about five or so. It's part of the reason I have such a love of reading today, and in fact helped me learn how to read back in the beginning. I haven't read it in years, so honestly, I forget a lot of the story, but there's a part of me that'll always be grateful to this book. XD
