GingerSnaps

BRAND NEW STORY OUT NOW!

The brand new story from Cathy Cassidy

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?

OUT NOW!

Ginger and Shannon show just how tough it can be looking after friendships sometimes. If you ever need to talk to someone and your friends aren’t about then ChildLine are always there for you. It doesn’t matter where you are, how you feel or what you’re up to, ChildLine can help. They are the UK’s free, 24-hour helpline for children and young people and are always there as an extra friend, just in case.

Talk to ChildLine on 0800 1111. Whatever the problem is, you’re not alone.

Laura, age 16

Omg , i may be sixteen but i have read all of the books you have released! They are all completel amazing and i loved to latest one gingersnaps:) As usual i could not put it down

Abigail, age 11

Gingersnaps, definitly the best of ur books although they are all amazing. As soon as I picked it up I couldnt put it down. It sounds as if Ginger changes dramatically and, on the outside she does but on the inside we still sometimes see what she really is like. I was very sad when i had finished it coz i wanted it to last forever, it was SO good

x

Amy, age 12

I thought this book wasn’t coming out until August thats why when I saw it today I bought it. I’m after reading all of Cathy’s books so far so i’ve been waiting for this day and now I can’t wait to open the first page and read another gripping tale by my favourite author.

Anna, age 12

iloved it!! at first i thought iwasn’t going to like but i really loved the story. what i love most is how often this would happen unlike al her other books it could happen to anyone. i have a best friend a bit like shannon but not really. it is such a realistic story.

Tasha, age 16

i’m halfway thrpugh the book and it’s meaning SO much to me. It’s hard hitting novel which makes you think about society and how people act towards each other. I love it and i hope the message lives on in the novel and in the people who read it forever

Bethany, age 12

Ok so I haven’t finished it yet, but your books are the only ones I atcually get to the end of now :)
Within a day i’ve read about 16 chapters and that says a lot becuase lately I havent been readin much.
I love your books SOOOO much.
I’ve read everyone.
Can’t wait to meet you in London now, at long last. :)

Jazzy, age 11

Wow!TGingersnaps is a heart beating,funny,mysterious book with romance,drama and friendship filled into it!I loved this book and be sure to ask for Sam Taylors number!Its about a girl called Ginger who is a bit of an outsider but as she gets to comp she drops that look and swaps her piggy bank for mini skirts and her chocolate for shoes.Now shes cool with great friends,well at least that is what she thinks but then when Sam Taylor comes in and melts her stone heart Shannon is not the same!The boys normally like her not Ginger.Then they start tearing apart and when Emily Croft is used a ‘makeover project’ by Shannon,Gingers life starts tearing at the seams but then as the girls head into english a really cool teacher called Mr Hunter comes in and Shannon falls for him!He just likes all of his pupils but when she invites him to her party and he doesn’t bother with her then she starts making allegations up.Sam Taylor and Gingersnaps stick together os at the end they go out and leave Shannon as a has been!

Olivia, age 10

I love this book it was so gripping i could’nt put it down i read it in a hour! its the best book ever i love how the secret of Sam and Ginger’s reletionship gets out its so heart aching!

Bethany, age 11

Sophie, age 11

I’m half way through Ginger Snaps it’s a great book and i think i’d fancy the boy with the trilby hat too

Harriet, age 13

I got Ginger Snaps the day it came out, and read it in less than an hour. Partly because I’m an abnormally fast reader, but mostly because it was EXCELLENT! Ginger and Emily were both great characters, and Sam rules! I want a boyfriend like him!

Brooker, age 13

Ali, age 13

I loved this book, it was great. i got it as soon as it came out and i read it in a night. i have read all your books and cant wait for you to write another one.

Cassie, age 11

By the cover of the book I already fell n love with it. I got so hooked up in it it only took me two hours to finish it. I especially love the ending when Shannon and Ginger are still friends even though they’re going their own ways. This is the best book I’ve ever read! I would reccomend this to people aged 11-16. I’m hoping anew book as exciting as this book soon comes out as I have nothing to read!

Quesha, age 11

omg cathy cassidy you are the best author ever i love your stories the first book i read was dizzy which i got free from a magazine and i loved it because i love reading about people who hav so many problems and i like to see how they sort it but my fav part of your books is when they fall in love. Thankyou so much for writing gingersnaps its sooooooo cool i read it in three days but i wish it would keep going…..love your books!

Harriet, age 13

The book was fantastic! I’d been counting down the days until it came out since I got Ice Cream and Dreams! The day it came out after school I rushed to the bookshop. It was the last copy there, I was sO LUCKY to get it! It showed me that its okay to be weird, especially when its really just being yourself.

Harriet xxx

Treacle, age 13

OH MY GOD cant wait to read it, i have been waiting for ages to read another one of your books, other books just arnt the same as yours.i am going to buy it at the weekend it is the first one of yor books that iv bought all the others were from the library.
lou you treacle

Grace, age 13

This has to be the best book yet. It isn’t possible that someone could be able to put down all that on paper, yet here she’s done it again! Sam is like a boy version of me (sounds weird, I know) with a narrowboat added on. I have great friends but I’m never anyone else with them than myself and I like being different. What sort of friend is someone if they don’t know who you really are?Gingersnaps is a great book for anyone who has ever felt like they don’t fit in, with a hint of romance thrown in.Fab* Loved it.

This is undoubtedly Cathy’s very best book, followed at a close second and third by Driftwood and Indigo Blue. Gingersnaps is an incredibly beautiful book. I was touched by it’s powerful message. The way she described the scene where Ginger ran into the woods (after she went down to apologize to Sam for being ashamed of him that day they went to town, only to discover their narrow boat gone) and caught a falling leaf and made a wish, and how the fox snuggled against her, was so beautiful. I can’t describe it, but Cathy made the scene seem as realistic as possible. I felt like I was almost WATCHING Ginger sitting there cry and then get back up on her two feet. That whole scene itself really stood out for me in the whole book, along with the two chapters going into Shannon’s wild party – I felt like I was THERE at the party itself! Sounds crazy, but it’s true. :3
Overall, this is a fantastic book I reccommend to pretty much anybody (yes, boys!). You will NOT be let down. This is one of the most amazing books I have ever read in my life.

It’s a shame my school library takes AGES to get the new books in, I’ve read; Dizzy, Scarlett, Driftwood, Lucky Star, Sundae Girl and I’m reading Indigo Blue at the moment. And then I just need to read Ginger Snaps I think! Well done Cathy Cassidy, another fab story. x

Amy, age 14

Emily, age 14

I got Ginger Snaps delivered on publication, but my mum said I had to wait to read it. So I snuck it into my room and read it. (Then got it taken off of me..) but cause I’ve red hair I’m getting people to call me GingerSnaps. But the book was.. amazing. It was such a good book. I read it, then read it again. Well done Cathy! and thankyou for giving my something to do with my time. :P

I love this book cause i was like this when i was in primary school but now i have heaps of friends that other people would call geeks (like my former best friend)so always be yourself and don’t be ashamed of anyone!

Ella, age 13

as soon as i got this book i read half of it before night! it is fantastic! whenever i read a book i feel like im a ghost watching everything happen, telling the characters what to do but they never listen. but that’s what makes your books better! never really knowing what will happen, because it’s unexpected!! brilliant stoy :P

Lily, age 9

I love Gingesnaps, it’s so cool, I really enjoyed the fact people could change as easily as Ginger could. And the book discribes loads of stuff. I would really recomend YOU read it. And don’t worry about being a slow reader!

Aoife and Eva, age 12

I Love This Book!!!
My Bestest Friend Ever recomended your books to me and I’ve been Hooked ever since. Somebody tell me where i can get some blue lemonade!!! And possibly a boy with a trilby hat for my Best Friend (Who is a red head, but I’m nothing like Shannon…)or me!!! I’ve even come to think of Sam Taylor as a fashion icon. i’m contemplating buying a pair of black converse and mixing them with the red ones i already own. You should seriously write a second Ginger Snaps book, and put me in it as a character!!! Or my best friend as her long lost sister!!! (that could actually work because my BFF’s (Eva) nickname is Redd. Ginger and Redd. You could call the sequel (If you write one)Ginger Snaps and Redd Turnips!!! Only messing.good luck with all of your books (And hopefully the sequel to Ginger Snaps)
Bye Bye!!! :-)
Aoife And Eva.
(Or accident and Emergencies if you want, hey! That would be a good idea for a book!!!)

Becky, age 10

Well, this has to be the best book in our Cathy Casside collection! I have got it, the hardback! And (shh!) my
ther likes it aswell! It was lying next to him on the sofa and he’s reading it.. Now!
It made me cry when Sam left.
I loved it at the end. A
true happy ending to show you CAN have friends that are honest and Fab! ooh.. and the ginger snaps recipe! (SP?)
It is a 10/10! For sure!

Caitlin, age 14

OMG I absolutly LOVE your books!

Shannon, age 11

It’s amazing, i read it twice. I really love the way you write about problems. This book is a wonderful tale about being yourself, choosing friends and magical relationships. Keep writing Cathy. You have a brilliant talent that makes others happy by getting to share the happiness of being in your worlds meeting your characters. I believe that what makes someone a good reader is the ability to see past the words and discover a story. This book and many others of yours help do just that. Thanks Cathy! x

Helena, age 12

I’d just like to say I think that it’s the best book you’ve ever written! It made me cry at some places and laugh at others. So many people can relate to it and it gives you courage to do the right thing; even if it hurts. Keep writing because you’re great at it!♥

From
Your biggest fan

Imogen

I have just finished reading Gingersnaps, and it is my favourite book in the whole wide world!
I fell in love with Sam, as we don’t have any generally nice, quirky boys in our school, they are always showing off, and they are all so fake!

Rachel

I just wanted to say that I have always loved your books..I’ve read Dizzy Indigo Blue , Driftwood and Ginger snaps.
Ginger snaps was by far the best for me. Every book you write just is so much like reality. But gingersnaps is the most realistic to me.
And I really appreciate it. Not just the fact that it is amazingly writen and I cant put it down. But because deep down I can relate to it. Because I was bullied when I was younger and I can just relate to Ginger so much. I’ve always been a bit scared about my past..but this book jsut helps me to embrace it. Its what makes me ME now.

Sally

I LOVE GINGERSNAPS!! It’s the best book you’ve ever written, or better yet the best book EVER written!! I’ve read it twice already! I don’t know why Shannon doesn’t like trilby hats I LOVE them!! I’ve got a black one, a red one and I’m thinking about buying a pink one!! Ginger is so lucky to have ginger hair, I have brown hair but long for giner!! My favourite character is either Sam or Emily. I like Sam because he is so unique and doesn’t care about what people think but I like Emily because she is kind, caring and optimistic, she sounds so safe but is also quite daring because she dies her hair purple!! (I’d l0ove to do that!) Once again – GINGERSNAPS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!

Emily-May

I managed to get a copy from the city center and it was the last one! I have finished reading Gingersnaps and I Know its one of the top books I have ever read! I really like it when Sam Taylor comes and Ginger and Sam have love at first sight!
My other favourite part is when Sam and his Dad go to fill the petrol and water tank but Ginger doesnt know that and she leaves a message for Sam saying ‘SAM TAYLOR WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME?’ And when Sam finally gets back with a broken foot and the message says ‘SAM U GO’!

Sonal, age 10

Wow! I absolutely ADORE Ginger Snaps. It’s one of my top three favourite books ever. And trust me, I’ve read a lot of books, but Ginger Snaps is by far the best!!

Sonal, age 10

Wow! I absolutely ADORE Ginger Snaps. It’s one of my top three favourite books ever. And trust me, I’ve read a lot of books, but Ginger Snaps is by far the best!!

Tenaia, age 10

Gingersnaps is a wonderful book wich touches peoples hearts. Cathy is my favourite author. She makes my daydreams come alive. go cathy!!!! :)

Emma, age 12

I have got gingersnaps and it is a BRILLIANT book, and I coudnt stop reading it! It took me 2 days to read it. I think this is the best book so far.The characters in the book are really life like.

Polly, age 11

I loved it I could not put it down it was the best Cathy Cassidy book I have read!

Mariann

i just wanted to let you know how much i loved your new book, Gingersnaps.I read Gingersnaps in 2 days, it was so fab! It was everything a book should be:
Thought Provoking
Romantic
Sad
Happy
Exciting
All at the same time!
I especially loved Sam Taylor, he was really quirky and unique and didn’t ever let Shannon get him down. If only there were more people in the world like that!

Emma

just finished reading GingerSnaps yesterday! I get the whole thing about hiding behind a mask. Like in her first meeting with Sam Ginger has to hide behind a viel of hair (sort of) to get by, to make friends. A lot of people would say they wouldn’t but everyone at one point in their lives has had to hid behind a mask to make some friends, though most of the time if they’re really good friends the mask will eventually come off to reveal the inner beauty behind it. I love the way in the end Ginger realizes she doesn’t need Shannon but she’ll still have friends if she lets her go. No one in the world is worth forgetting your real self like Ginger did. And if a guy really liked you he’d like you even before you’ve straighten your hair or put on your make up. Like Sam and that Blue Lemonade morning on the boat. That’s why I like Ginger Snaps so much.

Janie Rainbow

I’ve got Ginger Snaps now ( I read it in 1 hour flat ! )
Ginger is a bit like my friend Rosie . She has ginger and everone calls
” Ginge ” She hates it but the other day at Camp she dyed it blonde ( I helped ! )
Her mums going to kill her … anyway I loved the book ( Sam is my ideal boy !!!! )

Millie, age 12

these books are great i havent read lucky sta or ginger snap yet but i hope i will . jaqueline wilson you better watch out !!!!!!

Carina, age 11

I have read every one of Cathy Cassidys books and I love them all! The most recent is Ginger Snaps and I think its brilliant. How Gingers confidence grew throughout the story was inspiring. All of Cathys chracters are relatable in different ways. I cant wait until the next book she writes.

Afrin, age 12

Ginger snaps is brill once i picked it up i couldnt put it down ihope u write more books.

Jasmin, age 13

This book was extremly amazing, i could not put it down. I was sitting in my chair for hours on end reading and reading this book. I got tingles when sam kissed her. I never felt like that before. And i really felt angry at shannon.

Amy, age 12

That book is AMAZING! cathy never ever stop writing, you r amazing!!!!!! That book made me think 2 myself, is this real! your gr8 cathy!!!

Leila, age 13

ginger snaps is one of the best books i think i have ever read ! I love the story line and Ginger reminds me of myself , The puppy fat and pigtails and sitting alone at lunch until secondary school came about and everyone changed. You always made friends with one person and thought you were inseperable until someone else came along just like you. The wierd boy everyone hates but you have a crush on. The story line is like reading a book that someone has written about my life ! I really love this book and also waited for ever for it to come out ! It’s a brilliant read and you also learn a few lessons from this book (: xx

Bianca, age 8

This Book ROCKS! I just finished it yesterday! I first heard of it when I read the back of ScarLett (that was awesome too!). I love all Cathy Cassidy Books!

Bianca :)

Anna, age 15

Alice, age 13

OMG! I have just finished reading it! I loved it!! It makes you wonder about true friends are and if you mean as much to people as they mean to you. I fell in love with Sam (And Mouse from Lucky Star)I Read it in like 2 hours. Its amazing. I Love it.

Roisin, age 12

sarah y

Joanne, age 11

I have just bought Ginger Snaps last week. I read it within 6 hours!!!! I read 14 chapters without putting it down then I had to go for lunch then I carried on reading it and fineshed it. As I was reading it, it was compeating with my fave book, Lucky Star! Now I have fineshed it, they are drawing and I just CAN’T decide which book is the best! Best book ever!
I am so inlove with Sam Taylor! Blue Lemonade sounds brill too!!! I can’t beleive how great it is! Ginger is amazing and so is Emily. Shannon is a bit iffy but, she’s still great! Love the book!
Don’t EVER stop writing!

Tricia, age 11

I finally persuaded my dad to buy this book for me, and it was not a disappointment. I read it in about half an hour- i couldn’t put it down. This book- like every other good book, is like cocolate. You so much want to savour it, make every word on every page last forever, but you can’t help reading it so quickly and then wishing there was more. Very few books bring a tear to my eye, but when Sam walked away from ginger at the party, I thought I would never stop crying! The only thing that did stop me was wanting to find out what happens next!

Ellen, age 11

IT’S A FANTASTIC BOOK I NEVER EXPECTED SHANNON TO BE AS HORRIBLE AS THAT THOUGHT IT WAS MADLY FUNNY WHEN THEY PUT PICKLED ONIONS IN THE BISCUITS DID YOU TRY IT? I ALSO LIKED SAM’S GUESSES TO WHAT THE MESSAGE GINGER TRIED TO GIVE HIM.
THIS WAY OF TALKING TO YOU IS MORE COMPLICATED,THAN THE LAST WAY. I JUST HAPPEN TO BE IN THE BORDERS IN THE GLASGOW FORT ON THE SAME DAY AS YOU IF I HADN’T I PROBELY (DEFENTLY) WOULDN’T OF BOUGHT THE BOOK I WOULD OF READ SOMTHING THE HISTORY OF BORDEM AND INSTEAD OF BROWSING YOUR WEBSITE I’D BE DOING SOMTHING LIKE WATCHING THE PLANET SLOW PAINT DRYING CONTEST

Beth, age 12

I love sam taylors character i even went out and bought a trilby hat after i read it! It’s the best book yet! I loved it so much! I’m looking forward to reading all of your other books and all of those to come in the not too distant future!

Olivia, age 11

This was the first Cathy cassidy book I picked up, and I didn’t know what to expect. After reading this book, I now know this wont be the last Cathy Cassidy book I read. I thought this book was absolutely fantastic, and I am so glad that Cathy has lots more books out that I can buy and read. I couldn’t put this book down, and I was just sad when it ended. I would definately recommend this book to anyone.

Sophi and Mel, age 12

We luv ur bk loadz and cannot wait till a new comes out, Mel has met u when u came to upton hall for a book signin.
Ur dead FAB Mel wants u 2 write a bk on passion and OmG Sam Taylor, i wish he was real

Hurrz up and write a new bk!!!  xxx

Claire, age 15

i know i am slightly older than some of your other readers but i dont care becuase your books are so amazing. I have read the extracts for ginger snaps in both ice cream and dreams and lucky star (which i love by the way) i was looking forward to reading the actual thing and i wasn’t disapointed i think it was actually my favourite book you have wrote so far even though i do love you other ones aswell. i liked this book so much that i actually read again once i had finished reading it becuase i loved it so much. Sam is a really character and i think the message in your book about fitting in and having friends is a really important message for your readers. anyway i hope you keep writing becuase i will definatley keep reading :)

Anisia, age 11

OMG!! This is the first of Cathy Cassidy´s books i have read and I thought it was brill! I got it when I was going on holiday for 2 weeks in the airport and i had finished it within the first few days! i was addicted to it! Wen i got home straight away i bought every other book written by her!

Beth, age 13

I read the back of the book and thought, it sounds OK.
When I read it, it was amazing! So much better then you think it’s going to be.
My NEW favourit book now (:

Alyssa, age 9

Marisa, age 13

I really bonded with the character of Ginger, there are some days where you just want to be like everyone else, but there is always someone who you can be your true self in someone.

Sam Taylor is an amazing character I love him because I have a love of music just like he does. Im reading the book for a second time now and I cant stip reading it. I hope you write another book like Gingersnaps soon!!!

Hi Cathy!
GingerSnaps is the best book I have ever read. Once I picked it up I couldn’t put it down. I love the way you make me feel like I am really part of the story.
I once had a friend like Shannon but after constant years of bullying and being her “puppet” who would do anything to please her I broke friends with her like Ginger did. I have read all of your books and loved every single one of them! I can’t wait for your next book to come out.
Hannah. x

Lauren, age 11

I think it is a great book thats really makes you think about high school and what to do and who to hang out with.My friend has read and she thinks the same.No book can beat it!

Erin, age 10

It is the best book ever. I just started reading Cathy’s books and they are the best books ever. I love Ginger Snaps. I liked the ending because I think Shannon deserved it. It not good for her ro drink at the age of 13. My favourite chapter of the book is when they give Emily the makeover. Also I like the party at Shanons house too. I feel sorry for Mr Hunter losing his job. Over-all it is the best book ever!!!!

I thought this was an excellent book! I read it twice in less than 2 days and I think it is the best book you have written so far! I’m reading it for the third time now and I’m already half way through, but I did read Driftwood and Lucky Star in between. The extract is good but the actual book is even better!!!

When I got Ginger Snaps I Was At The Cathy Cassidy Friendship Fest. i Didn’t Start Reading The Book straight Away As I New That Soon After I Was Going On Holiday And I Would Have A Lot of Time To Read It Then. it Took Me 2 Days Too Read The Book, ( And I Know It would Have Been less If I Wernt Doing Things As Well.) I Thourght The Book Was So Good That It Was So hard To Put It Down When I Got Told That We Were Going Out Or Going To Do Something. The Book It So Realistick (<< Sorry if I Have Spelt That Wrong):} Every part of iT I Could Imagine It Was Just So Fantastic ! ThankYou For All The Books You Right Cathy Well I Say Books They Are More Like Bibles For Girls Like Me ! x

Hi Cathy,

IM in the middle of the book at the moment, the way you describe the characters is very good. Especially the way you describe Sam taylor ( Gingers “crush” ) the book is very deep and on the 1st chapter where Ginger was talking about herfelf getting bullied realy touched my heart. This is the first Cathy cassidy book ive ever read and i am very impressed. I suggest for people to read this book,

Thank you Cathy

I love all of your books. Indigo Blue is my favourite though. It has different twists and turns you don’t expect and it is really interesting. I have read Indigo Blue, Scarlet, Gingersnaps and I am half way through Dizzy. They are all excellent books and even just reading different blurbs makes me want to read them. So far it has taken me 2 days per book but I am so in to them I won’t be suprised if my record goes to a day!!!! Cathy I love your writing ideas and stories so could you hurry on up and write more books pleasse.

Amy, age 12

I thought Giner Snaps for a wonderful, heart warming love story.
It blew my mind away, and I will definately read it again soon.
I can’t wait to read your next book (HOPE THERE IS ONE !!)

Cathy Cassidy is the most brilliant author.
I lover her books the most I love anything.
And Ginger Snaps was a fabulous book that I recomend to any girl in Ginger’s position.
The high school part of it, I can atually refer to my life.
It’s not nice to be bossed around like that.

It’s really good.

Tara, age 12

cathy your book was really awesome! I loved it. PLEASE keep writing!!!

Sabrina

This book is my favourite out of all your books. I love it! It really taught me a lesson about being yourself and not pretending to be someone just to impress. My favourite character was obviously Ginger but I also really liked Sam. He was so mysterious but yet really cool. And he taught Ginger a valuable lesson too.

Amber, age 12

The extract was absolutely brill!! Can’t wait toget the book

Millie, age 12

I thought it was GREAT! To be honest I think a boy like Sam Taylor would be fantastic in real life. Pluss people like Shannon happen all the time so its realy believable. Gingersnaps gets 10/10

Heather, age 12

Gingersnaps is amazing! It’s all about doing the right thing and being who you really are and standing up 2 ur enemies as well as ur friends. Ginger is so afraid to express how she really feels and she tries not to bring up her sad past, but when her pushy best friend shannon gets a new mate nd starts to leave ginger out, she realises who her true friends are. And her crush Sam taylor is absolutely awesome! This is your best book yet cathy!

Eleanor, age 12

I think think book was awsome!! I could read it over and over again and never get bored!

unknown, age 10

well Cathy is my fave auther i’v met her and had all my books signed apart from Gingersnaps!!! i couldn’t wait to get the paperback so as soon as i saw it i got the hardback!!!

Laura, age 12

I have just finished reading GingerSnaps and it is the best book yet. I took it on holiday with me and i just couldn’t put it down!! Keep writing these brilliant books please Cathy!! x x x

Sian, age 13

I thought Ginger Snaps was fantastic, it really felt like this was a girl my age telling the story. I completely relate to her poor teasing, then trying desperately to fit in. For anyone looking for a good read, this book is fantastic.

Melissa, age 12

i luv it!!!!
