Summer's Dream - Cathy Cassidy



We say: ****

A lovely book. It made me laugh, it made me cry. A book about Summer's struggle to achieve her dream and how you can work too hard for something you really, desperately want.

Summer has a passion for a dance and when she is offered a second chance to join a ballet school that could make her a preffesional dancer she is determined not to mess up. Soon ballet takes over her life, she is always practicong, can't sleep at night and is overcome by a fear that she is overweight. (She really isn't.)

Not my favourite Cathy Cassidy book, but it's close.

Gingersnaps - Cathy Cassidy

We say: ****


A brilliant book, my favourite book by Cathy Cassidy, I've read it so many times I can recite whole chapters!

A touching book about choosing between the boy and your friends, bullying and finding out who really you are. The main character is the same age as me (12) so I can relate easily. I feel that in the end she made the right choice, read it and decide for yourself!
