Hello these tickets sound great!!! I’m sort of entering this comp but I also wanted to tell you that my big brothers’ girlfriend is called Kerensa. It’s cornish and it means love. Maybe it could be a caracter of a new book, as it’s so unusual!

Ellie-Mae says...

Wow! Sooo entering…Ilove you Cathy!!! :-D

Connie says...

I finished Angel Cake last night. My favourite part was when “Santa Claus” offers Jozef a job. I was upset at the part where Dan finds his dad with another woman. Dan is so upset that he doesn’t give his dad a chance to speak. Keep writing, Cathy! Your books make time pass so swiftly. You have an excellent talent, and let’s hope that when I’m thirty, (nineteen years away) you’ll still be writing.

Hi Cathy, I had a great time meeting you in Waterstones, Lodon. I signed up for the friendship charter and sent an email to everyone on my contact list to ask them to sign up too! I have also been spreading the word at school. Zoe x

I will be at Waterstone’s in Piccadilly signing books and taking part in lots of friendship celebrations. Come along to join in and for the chance to meet fab new girl band GIRLS CAN’T CATCH and to sign my huge Friendship Charter.
