Sundae Girl

Sundae Girl by Cathy Cassidy is a gorgeous, unputdownable novel for girls aged 9+

'Don't get me wrong, I love my family - but Mum is forty-four going on fourteen. . .'

Jude's family are crazy, quirky, bizarre . . . her mum brings her nothing but trouble and her dad thinks he's Elvis! All she wants is a hassle-free life - but it's not easy when she's chasing a trail of broken promises.

Nothing seems to go Jude's way, until she realizes the floppy-haired boy from school could be her knight on shining Rollerblades. And that sometimes, when everything turns sour, only something sweet can make it OK...

Will shy girl Jude ever share her secrets?

'Touching, tender and unforgettable' - Guardian

'Cassidy's characters have real heart' - Sunday Telegraph

'Cathy Cassidy . . . is way better than Jacqueline Wilson' - Courtney, aged 10

***Includes delicious recipes, character quizzes and more!***

—— The Cork Evening Echo

An outstanding and vivid book that will stay with readers for a long time to come

—— Publishers Weekly

Mentioned in Range of the best recent paperbacks for the summer holidays - only a plot precis though, no actual comment on the book

—— Financial Times

Convincingly and honestly written, this is a book that will help girls understand a little more of the pains and hardships of teenage life, subtly dealing with issues of divorce, terminal illness and first sexual encounters

—— Waterstones Books Quarterly

Like the trousers of its title, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants by Ann Brasherers will be passed round from friend to friend this summer: it has instant teen-appeal . . .

A complex book . . . resulting in a believable and inviting world

—— School Library Journal
