4. Try not to feed Mrs Chant’s geranium Ribena.
5. Get more sleep!
6. Pass grade 6 clarinet.
7. Be a nicer person.
8. Stop loving Nick.

I love you Cathy Cassidy, you are by far my favourite book writer. I first got into Cathy Cassidy books when I won the end of year prize at my school, it was Sundae Girl. I soon read this book and really enjoyed it. I noticed five other books on the back of Sundae Girl. There was a book fair after school and I picked up Lucky Star! I then received the 4 other books on the back of Sundae girl for christmas: Dizzy, Scarlett, Driftwood and Indigo Blue! At the moment I have read Sundae Girl and Dizzy and I have just started Lucky Star! I can’t wait to finish the next 4 books and I hope to recieve even more books by Cathy Cassidy in the future. Can’t Wait!!! Luv Ya Cathy!!!

Happy New Year!

My resolutions were a bit vague, like working harder, being more confident, enjoying my new kitten Atticus, make sure I’m as useful to my family as we go through some problems this year… I loved the book Gingersnaps, and read it in three hours. My new year was pretty awesome, I took a plane trip to my friend’s place for a week and on the night I went to the beach with my two best friends where we sang, danced, acted crazy and fire twirled. It’s one of my best memories now. Thanks for reading, who ever might read this.

laura molloy :) says...

My new years reselution is to try not to fall out with katie or nun or megan and try (it will be hard) not to fight with my brother and sisters.(except eilidh shes HORRIBLE ) I really want to be a better friend to the three other girls in my year in my class (katie nun and megan)i want to because we’ve been through alot together and we always tell each other secrets and i want to try to feel that they can keep them. Reading this sounds like im really mean but im not im just hyper and nun gets mad at me for being diffrent and katie goes off with nun cos shes trying to get on nuns good side and that means she has to leave me out … :’( and then its just me and megan and we used to have friendship problems but now we r mates but she doesnt understand all this cos she normally just stays away from arguments (apart from the friendship problem stuff) but katie is my best mate since forever but now she says she likes nun better and iv known her since i was a baby. anywayz thanks for the awsome books sorry for being annoying but i just felt bad lol

Natasha (again) says...

I agree with Siobhan. When people call you a nerd, geek or teacher’s pet. Their just jealous because your smarter then they are. Look ahead they might get a job in McDonalds (not offensing to anyone soz if I do) but you should aim high!!!!
