P.S. I am your No #1 Aussie fan Cathy! I met you at your book signing in Melbourne. I was the one in purple who brought along all 8 of my Cathy books!

Alice says...

I haven’t been getting along with friends and i have not have a good time so i really wanna show my friends that i will still like them no matter what!

Cathy Cassidy says...

Ester, why not have a think and see if there are any other lonely girls at school you could celebrate with? NBFD is a great time to make new friends! If there’s someone on the edge of things, get chatting… and see what happens! Or organise a party for a little sister or get the neighbourhood kids together… go for it!

Isabella, great to hear from you… NBFD is great no matter where you live… plan a celebration of your own in Aus, and remember to send me in some pics!!!
