Hopes & Dreams: Jodie’s Story

Now Jodie has taken Summer’s place at the prestigious Rochelle Academy. It’s everything she’s ever dreamt of, but she’s racked with guilt and struggling to follow her dancing dreams.

With the help of her friends and the gorgeous Sebastien, will Jodie finally take a risk and step into the spotlight?

The second story in the series of eBook shorts from Cathy Cassidy.

  2. I’ve just read this ebook, and it’s great! Even though I’m 15 now, I’ve been reading the chocolate box girls books since I was 11, and can’t stop till I’ve read the whole series!! How about an ebook about Skye’s friend Millie? Skye is my favourite sister, and Millie always seemed a fun character

  5. A Silent Cry For Help
    She follows me home every day, from school and from the shops. I don’t know what to do, where to go, how to cope.
    Sharon Walsh:
    She’s here again. I spin around. “Why do you follow me, what do you want?” but the ghostly pale girl just stares, her eyes still bulging, her mouth still agog. I speed into my house but the girl just follows, calling silently to me. Watching. Waiting.

    Lottie Walsh:
    I don’t know what’s wrong with my sister, she used to laugh, sing, dance and play with me. Now she sits alone, staring into space and muttering to thin air. I wish my sister would come back.

    Cara Walsh:
    My daughter is slipping away from me, sliding, falling from my grasp. It seems as though she needs help, but to help her means to reach her. Maybe she is bullied, or maybe my eldest child is insane…

    Hope Callahan
    A woman drifts into my office, guiding her shocked looking child into a comfy chair that I would never be allowed to sit on, ever. Life is hard, worse for some, easier for others. The people who come here, to the psychiatrist, have it harder than everyone in this office put together but still, we all can’t help feel hard-done-by, it’s just the way that we are and the way we always will be.

    Emmy Downing
    What is happening to Sharon? She used to be my best friend but now she has disappeared, deserted me in a school full of hate and misery where no-one has any pity for the weak or disabled, no-one helped me around except Sharon. But now Sharon has gone into some sort of trance and I have to live with teases and taunts from the other children. How will I get her back?

    Sharon Walsh
    What is happening to me? I used to love playing, but now I have the girl following me, watching my every move, my every action. She still is calling silently but there is nothing I can do to help her, yet she still follows me! I suspect that she wants help, but how can you save someone when they can’t tell you how?

    Hope Callahan
    My short investigation on Sharon Walsh provided facts for her mother’s theory: Sharon is seeing someone or something that everyone around her can’t. It’s common enough, but not like Sharon has it; she is going insane.

    Lottie Walsh
    My parents come in but my mother has tears blossoming from her big, round eyes. “Lottie, listen,” my father murmurs gently, “Your sister has had a big shake-up today so no questions asked, please.” On the last word his voice rose an octave, very unlike my dad and my mum never cries. What is happening to my family?

    Sharon Walsh
    I can’t help her! I wish I knew who she was so my family would understand; she is a ghost, a spirit from the past haunting a soul from the present.

    I’m not mad….

    just to get my short stories out there!

I have just saved enough money to get SweetHoney and it is giving me a lot of comfort as i have just finished my exams. I thank you for this.
