Answer: Laurel, Jasmine (Jazz), Daisy and Rose

The four girls are from the book "Family Fan Club". Laurel is the eldest and likes looking pretty, Jazz wants to be an actress like her mum, Daisy loves animals and Rose is a genius and is always going on about politics. (Violet and Lily are twins and Katie is Violet's pen pal. They are from "Shrinking Violet".)
7. The four girls run off when they hear a phone ringing. Then two girls walk over. The eldest one is wearing a blue shirt reading "Passion Flower." Her name is Stephanie and the younger girl (her sister) is nicknamed "The Afterthought". The Afterthought is wearing a red T-shirt. Some words are on her top - "My dad's ____ ____ ____". What are the missing words?

Answer: mad and bad

Stephanie is from the book "Passion Flower". She and her sister are staying with their dad for the holidays, and the day they got those T-shirts was the day Stephanie met a boy she went out with twice. She didn't like him after he got drunk at a party.
8. When Steph and the "Afterthought" go back to the pier they came from, a small blue car draws up outside the pizza restaurant you're standing next to. A man with pale blue eyes and white-blond hair gets out. He goes into the pizza restaurant and seconds later a girl with a long brown plait rushes out. A small black-haired girl runs out screaming something about a phone. The other girl snatches a cellphone, and keeps running. Which book is this scenario from?

Answer: Is Anybody There?

The reason the girl with the plait (Jo) is running is because she thinks the man with the white-blond hair tried to abduct her, even though it is her best friend's sibling. Before that other scene, when her friend mentions that night, she says she wanted to say to her friend, "Your precious tried to abduct me!"
9. The pizza restaurant disappears and the scene is now completely different. You are watching a group of four girls. One is small and cute and dainty. Another is tall with auburn hair.

Answer: "Girlfriends" series

The girls call themselves the "Gang of Four"; the smallest girl is Lillian, Lily for short. The tallest girl is Keri, who is the richest and the coolest girl. The girl with good teeth is Polly, the one who tells the stories. And the last girl is Dawn, nicknamed Frizz.

In this scene Lily is showing the other girls her dragonfly solo at her dance school. Keri goes to boarding school just for the week. Polly got a scholarship to the High School, but Frizz ended up at Heathfield, where all the girls planned to go to.

Their parents had other ideas!
10. At last, there is a door back to the real world. It is a bit weird stuck in a book world, where everything jumps around. But when you try the door, it is locked. Yet another girl comes up to you.
