GingerSnaps

Is Ginger's best friend really her biggest rival?

'You can make a wish come true, if you're determined . . .'

Gone are the days when Ginger was an outsider, always on the fringes of friendship. She's swapped puppy fat and pigtails for make-up and hair straighteners and never looked back - until now. Ginger and Shannon are best mates, but when they befriend lonely Emily, everything changes. Even the saxophone-playing boy in the trilby hat can't help - he's part of the problem. Are Ginger and Shannon drifting apart or can they stay best friends forever?

    Amazing book!
    Read it once and going to read again.
    Spent all night reading it from page 46 to the end and it was worth it.

    Cathy,
    This book is awesome. I love Ginger, I can relate to her with everything. Primary school was terrible, I have a name that everyone made fun of and I was always left out and I had one friend but when I left school in grade 3 to do home-schooling she found friends in the same girls that made fun of us and we grew apart. I just wish I had a boy like Sam Taylor in my story. I have a few friends now but I am so scared of losing them, like Ginger and I have had one or two "Shannon's" in school. Ginger was being who Shannon wanted her to be. Sam and Emily are there for Ginger when Shannon was not. It is a story any girl that has been bullied can relate to. I love the book. I could not put it down. thank you Cathy for your fantastic writing.

    Brilliant book the best part so far is Shannon's 13th birthday party
    And the fact that Shannon doesn't care about gingers past! I just got to the art where the police and Shannon's parents come still got lots to read!!!!

  • Bindy, age 11

    I loved this book soooooo much! I have read all of the cathy cassidy books and loved them all! Please, could you write some more books!!! It would mean everything to me and I would be the first one to buy it!

    I just finished this book and couldn't keep my eyes off it. Every chapter I read I was like I have to continue. Awww sounds like true love in the end :) Just a bummer that most of the stories end in a cliff-hanger :/ Really want to know what happened with Ginger and Sam, really want a book about him because I'm in love. Hehe!<3

    the book is definitely amazing. it explains conformity and what happens when you hide the inner you. to everyone out there doing things for others, don't be afraid to be yourself. true friends never leave you because they accept the real you.

    This is the best book eva. Its my fave book along with Scarlett another of Cathy's books which I have just finished reading. This book is so good that I might reread it tomorrow or whenever I have a spare chance. I love Cathy's books. I already have Gingersnaps,Scarlet,Driftwood,Angel Cake and Lucky Star and The Chocolate Box Girls,Cherry Crush,Marshmallow Skye and Summer's Dream. I wanna get Indigo Blue and Dizzy. They sound awesome. But the best books and Cathy's books without a doubt is Gingersnaps and Scarlett. Bye Peeps!:-)

    I loved this book the whole way though. Cathy has inspired me to write books! I have reread 3 times and really felt for Ginger when her friendship totally crumbled.
