shannon buck says...

Marshmallow Skye is the best book ever :) It was great popping along to the book signing and being a chocolate fairy! I think you are the most amazing author ever <3<3<3xx

Amy Davidson says...

I came to your book signing in Bromley!! It was amazing, I went with my best friend and we made a new friend!!!!!! It was the best thing ever to meet you (: xxx

Cathy Cassidy says...

Molly, who not make it different – dress up as Scarlett, bring in mint, strawberries, hazel leaves, a horseshoe… ask the class to write wishes onto ribbons or rags to hang on a tree in the school grounds… be imaginative, as well as giving a report on the book! Good luck! xxx

Victoria says...

I loved Marshmallow Skye, just as great as the rest of your books! And its great that your coming to Carlisle! :) xxx

Hannah says...

Hi Cathy! I commented like this a while ago… i mentioned going to a signing of yours, and my birhtday. I was completely over the moon when you emailed me saying Happy Birthday! I immediately rang my friend and she was so jealous!!! I’m still recovering myself! You may think you’re an ordinary person like everyone else, but you aren’t. You are Cathy Cassidy, the most amazing author ever, loved by millions. I am your BIGGEST fan ever and I always will be! I can remember the first book of yours I got. It was from a great aunt and uncle, and it was Dizzy. I read it and I adore it. I soon got stuck into more of your books, and have read every single one at LEAST three times! I love your books. When I met you at your signing in Bromley a short while ago in September,You mentioned my Name, Hannah being in a book. I know it. Driftwood. I can really relate to Hannah, and when I read it the first time , I thought that even though you didn’t know me, You wrote about ME! That’s how talented you are! I wonder if you remember me! I hope you do!

Your ever biggest fan who appreciates you very much,

Hannah.x

P.S. I’ve even read Ice Cream and Dreams and I LOVED it!!! I will never forget the day I met you!

Dizzy says...

Wow cathy just a few quick questions right first I want to know if you’ve met Jacqueline Wilson or chris Higgins cause I love them both but not as much as you secondly my school might put on a play of …......DIZZY!!!! and I am starring in it as …...

Victoria says...

Jane says...

Hey Cathy! In September, you came to Ireland to the Monsters to Sea Book Lunch. I went there too! I wasn’t at your table on the day (unfortunately)but I went up to you after lunch and asked for your autograph. I was over the moon when you did with your gorgeous gold pen. I also asked you for an autograph for my friend and you said that your daughter has the same name as her (Caitlin)! Do you remember me? I doubt!

jassie says...

Hi cathy, I have met you before,in worthing at WaterStones :) I’m hooked on vintage clothing from long ago, so skye’s book was brilliant. I think sweet honey is going to be AMAZING when it comes out, as no one really understands her. I get honey, she’s messed up and hurting inside, and lashes out at people who are easy targets. Lots of love, I would LOVE to be a writer one day Jassie xx

Ruth says...

Hi Cathy!

Thank you very much for your email :) i didn’t think you’d reply but i was glad you did. I did send an email to Karen McCombie asking the same question (no reply :( ) and I’m about to ask Maggi Gibson. Me & my mum both agree that there should be another teen mag out there. One that’s actually interesting to read instead of fashion & celeb ones. Not that I don’t like ones like that it’s just they get quite boring… Yawn! Thank you for taking the time to read my comment and reply to my email coz i know you’ll be very busy with Summer’s Dream :) can’t wait!! :D :D

Thanks! Love all your books! <3

From Ruth xx :)

Ruth says...

Felicity says...

Hey, Cathy! Happy Bonfire Night and everything! I looved Marshmallow Skye, i got it the 1st day it was out! I’m a young writer and i’m hoping to write a book someday, any tips? Ideas: You could have a CC recipie competition, and everyone could send in a recipie, and all appriopriate ones could go in a Cathy Cassidy Recipie Book! You should totally do a “Who knows - best” quiz in the newsletter or Super Fans Secret Page when you type lots of questions about characters in your books, and people who get the most right get a prize!!! Thx, Felicity x

Hi Cathy…I really want to go to the book signing at Kilmarnock this weekend, but it’s my friend’s birthday and I don’t want to miss it. I missed the signing in Irvine earlier too…do you know when you might be in the area again? P.S. LOVE the Chocolate Box series!!! x

Cathy Cassidy says...

Hi Erin… sadly it will be a while before I am back in Ayrshire after the Kilmarnock event. Why not leave your books at the venue to be signed and collect them after the party? xxx

Rebekah says...

Hi Cathy, I just moved away from England and didn’t get to come to any book signings. Do you think you’ll be around the Channel Islands at any time?

Zara says...

Hey Cathy hope your well and dreaming up your next choclate box girl book as i love the series so far. could you possibly visit surrey prefrebly near Guilford? i know its a long way away from scottland but i adore your books and i would love to meet you. The book that means the most to me is my edition of Sundea Girl (sorry if i splet it wrong.) not because its my fave book i could never pick a fave book but my Gran died of altsimerz (wrong spelling again)and when she did it broke my heart and in sundea girl you expressed the pain and anger so well it made me cry. Now that edition of your book sits on top of her grave and i like to think she reads it and when ever i go to her grave i talk to her abotu in my head. One question about your books why does the main charachter’s parent nearly alsways have to be split up? love them all any way. Zara 12.xx

Desree says...

What’s your comment?when you coming to sacred heart school in camberwell or Eltham or bromely glades in waterstones

jordan says...

hi cc me and my friends all read cherry crush and marshmallow skye a couple months ago and we are still talking about how awsomse it was and what will happen and the front cover will look like in the next books infact we talked about it so much our school libarian had to order more because we told so many people about it and people that couldnt wait bought a copy so half the girl in p5 and p6 at law primary have now read or borrowed marshmallow skye

Jasmine says...

Marshmallow Skye was amazing! So different to the other books, and nothing like I expected. I really wish that Alfie and Skye would get together though! :(

charlotte miller says...

hey i loved cherry crush and i am loving “marshmallow Skye” i can’t wait for “Summer’s dream” i love the chocolate box series i have never read anything that i have been so intresting in please keep writing your books are amazing!!!! x

Anna says...

Hi Cathy! I love your books a lot but I don’t really think you should sell the new covers that have the pictures of the ‘characters’ on the front because it won’t let people use their imagination! I thought ALL of the characters on the books looked really different, especially Cherry, Scarlett and Mouse!

So please, let people use their imagination!!

Love, Peace and Chocolate Anna x

Sarah says...

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ANNA ! you should keep the old covers with the doodles on them and all the creativity and beauty. Not some stranger on the front of your beautiful books!! At least just for the rest of The Chocolate Box Girls. Please Cathy! PLEASE ! PS: girls on the front of the books i mean no harm, but you must admit they were abit more creative!!!

Luv Sah XxX

katie kissane says...

Ellen says...

OMG ! Loved the ending, hope to hear that Skye will find her true love in the next book. Also a request can the next book be about Honey or Coco? Love, Peace and Chocolate Ellen Ps I love all of your books!

Ellen says...

Dear Cathy, I think that your new book covers are different, some of them are spot on for me, Angel Cake, Dizzy, Ginger Snaps, Indigo Blue and Sundae Girl. But Driftwood, Cherry Crush, Lucky Star, Marshmallow Skye and my absoulute favourite,Scarlett are completely different to wqhat I imagined and now it’s like the Harry Potter series. Sorry to write a bad comment on your page. Love, Peace and Chocolate Ellen

Cathy it was the BEST ever! 1.Was it hard to write? 2.Is it ok that it gave me an idea for a story and Skye is the main character and has a twin and love 1920 vintage and makes up a girl from the 1920s and finds out she is related and is called Jane and Skye`s twin in Star! 3. I also use Honey but named Robin and looks abit different and likes boys and fashion 4.i used Coco but she is Hope and likes animals and is a tomboy and likes football 4. Star live with there dad in London and has secret girlfriend! 5.

Hey Cathy! I am really enjoying Marshmallow Skye I am on Chapter 22 It is when it Xmas and Coco gets a baby lamb. I am so exited to get on with the book Its Fab

Sophie says...

Hi Cathy! I was wondering if you could help me. We have to write a book review at school and then act out one part of the book with a friend. I have chosen Cherry Crush, but I’m really stuck on what to wear and I’m thinking of acting out the part when she’s moving into the caravan. Any ideas? Thanks. :)

Sophie <3 Cathy's books :) says...

Hey Cathy! I have had a few ideas for your book titles for the Chocolate Box girls, but they’re only ideas! :)

Honey Hope Coco Creative Summer Sweet

I hope you like them! :)

Eve says...

Hey Cathy do you think you could come to Clackmannanshire one day? My favourite book ever is Marshmallow Skye but Cherry Crush is my second favourite. M Y favourte character ever from all of my books (and I have over 180 because thats how much I have on my bookshelves and I have books everywhere) is Coco because she is funny and the youngest and she loves ponies and animals. Believe it or not I got the same present as her, riding lessons! Only, I got 16, but still! YAY ! I cant wait until Summer’s Dream is out but I read super fast and my mum says that I mght not be getting any more. Boohoo. Summers Dream is about ballet and I knew ballet would be a bigt part in it. But if you come to Clackmannanshire please be quick because I might move soon. You rock Cathy Cassidy!

Sorry you can't ask any questions at the moment. We are making a few changes but will be back as soon as we can.
