‘Cat and Mouse,’ she says, grinning. ‘That’s cool!’
Mouse is doing his best to stay out of trouble. Cat is doing her best to land herself in it.
They’ve both had it pretty tough, so when they meet by chance, they thank their lucky stars. Weird and wonderful things happen when they’re together – but how long can it last? Because everyone has their secrets – and there can only be one winner in a game of cat and mouse. Can’t there?

I think that Lucky Star is an amazing book! It is full of emotions. It made me happy, it made me sad and most of all you can really understand it and really get into it!
Thankyou Cathy for once again making a great book!
At the end of Dizzy when Mouse’s long run of trouble is over and he’s been whisked away by social services, I was really, really on edge to know what happened next. Now,after years of waiting, I know.
Lucky Star is the sequel to Mouse’s antics of trouble in Dizzy. In this book he’s older, but he’s still got the same mousy hair, the same social worker–and into similar amounts of trouble. He’s just had the bright idea of grafitting all over his school gym–and the teachers are not pleased. You can read that he’s in trouble from the very first page–and this really gripped me. Still, what did I expect of Mouse–he’d never be exactly Mr Sweetness And Light school-wise.
But as he’s on his random roamings of the street, he finds a streetwise, pretty posh girl–who, interestingly, is called Cat–and by a stroke of—you guessed it–luck, the two become friends. But can it always stay that way in a game of cat and mouse…? Well, read the book and find out!
This book was cool. I loved from start to finish, and the words and style kept me gripped to the words printed on every page. Mouse is the first boy character Cathy Cassidy’s ever written from narrative, and that’s cool. What’s also cool is that you get to find out loads of stuff you didn’t already know about Mouse–like the fact that he’s dyslexic, and needs special literacy help at school. And that he’s recovered from his BMX accident in Dizzy.
Or, best of all, that he’s got back together with his ex drug-addict mum, and the story gets soppy–but still very cool and exiting!
I think this book was ace. I think anyone–social workers, kids, teens or teachers–should read this book. It really into the troubled mind of someone who needs everyone’s help–but mostly theirs. Plus it’s not just social services you’ll find Mouse involved with– I reckon his character exists a bit in all of us in some way. That’s why we’ve all got to help each other out and be brave and know that we’re not alone. And a good place to start would be by reading this book.
Hi Cathy, I’ve just read the extract of your latest book. Your writing seems so natural and effortless but at the same time like every word is equally important.The ability to lose yourself in time, be in control – it’s a beautiful feeling. I’ve only read one page but still, I bow done to you. I want that book!
Best wishes.
i luved it i think cathy is the author ever i love all her books ive read them all cant wait for her 2 write another
Cathy this is an Amazing book i didnt put it down.
I was in Cyprus when i read it so all i was doing for 3 days was reading!
I really like it because its…really good and Mouse is alot like me.
i love this book you have to right a nother one to it was amazing mouse is trying just a little bit to stay out of trouble but a beautifull mix race with honey colored skin and slanted eyes might just push him over the edge but he keeps his cool and there whirl wind romance begins
I think the book is great! I’m on chapter 24 and my friend and I are reading it together. It’s really all we talk about. I’m glad Mouse is O.K because i really wanted to know if he was alright from reading “Dizzy”
Im half way throw the book and I think it is one of the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its the best i read it in a day!
i loved it
