BOYS ALLOWED!!!
Tuesday 7th April 2009
It’s mostly girls who read my books… or is it? Who says that boys don’t want to read real-life, growing up stories about friendship, families and falling in love? Boys have friends, families and feelings too, after all!
Boys DO read my books, but they don’t post on the website as often as girls. (OK, OK, I know… the website IS very pink!!!!) Do YOU know a boy who enjoys my books? A friend, a brother, a classmate, a boyfriend? If so, get him to post a comment through the link below explaining why he likes the books… I’ll post the best online and print the VERY best in a brand new CC minibook, Cupcakes & Kisses, to be given away free with UK mag Mizz in the summer!
Who knows, there could be some boy readers out there who are just as cool as Finn, Kian, Sam, Carter, Paul and Mouse…
Get those comments coming… let’s hear it for the boys!!!

i agree with kate one of the boys in my year has a older sister who loves cathy cassidy and i heard that he steals them off her and reads them every night! they all obviously want to know how a girl thinks!!!!
I’ve been reading the comments on Boys Alowwed and lots of people have said that boys dont want to read them because they look too girly. Why don’t you write a book just for boys?: it might get them to read your other books.
i think boys should totally read your books Cathy they rock. i’ve lent all mine to my friend, but when iget them back i’m defentily giving them to some boys.
Love Ya Matilda xxx
i Love your books and i think it is great that boys do as well! I hope they all love them as much as i do!

Hey cathy!
I think it’s great that boys enjoy your writting, it’s actually kind of refreshing. Most boys i know won’t think of picking up a book, let alone one with a pink, glistening cover. I’m sure most girls would agree that finding a guy who you can talk about the great characters of ‘Lucky Star’ with as well as the incredible way the books seem to hook you in after the first page would be a great discussion i’d like to have with any guy. Don;t be shy to read the books guys! I think it’s great!
Best wishes! xo
i think thats its cool that some boys like to read girls books theres nothing wrong with it and its just the same as girls reading boys books and i find it cruel how boys who read girls books get picked on but girls who read boys books dont? and the people who do pick on them are bullys and sad lowlifes who are atention seekers and have nothing better to do!
Hey Cathy,
I think your books are fantastic. If boys read them, I think thats great, It’s about real-life and they could learn a lot about girls points of views in difficult situtations. If they ever wanted to know about girls and how they feel about boys then they should totally buy one of your books. I have to say, that the audience reading your books are more likely to be girls, because it’s a girly kind of book. But if you look on the other side, your books are great for both, boys and girls.
Keep writing Cathy!

P.S I can’t wait until your new book Angel Cake comes out! I’m getting it for my birthday 🙂
Hey Cathy and all the girls out there! I like CC…especially Scarlett. I loved Scarlett’s rebellious nature and her secret friend Kian. When my sister told me about this forum ‘thing’ I quickly logged on! I’m not really one for the others, I mean Lucky Star was quite good…but Scarlett is a firm favourite, and only because of my sister forcing me to read it! You rule Miki!
