Boys & Books!!
Thursday 31st May 2007
It’s official… boys are reading and liking my books too! The new website has been getting lots of great feedback from boy readers as well as girls… yay!
OK, it takes an especially cool boy to read a sparkly-type book. The covers are pretty girly, I admit, but the stories really aren’t… and lads are waking up to that! Besides, if boy readers take a few tips from characters like Kian, Finn, Carter & Paul, that’s good news all round!
So… what do boys really think?
DOMINIK SAYS…
Although I’m a boy, I still enjoy your books. Scarlett is a very good book – sad, happy, romantic and funny. Also, it won the ‘John Lewis Solihull Children’s Book Award’ which was voted for by children. I voted for Scarlett to win – of course!
RYAN SAYS..
Kids at school have seen me reading your books, and said “Woooo, look who’s reading a girl’s book!” So I’d like to ask if you could write a book based on a boy to show them that your the best kids author ever !!!
my favourite of your books…
1.indigo blue
2.scarlett
3.sundae girl
JOE SAYS…
Ok, I’ll admit it. I am a boy. So what? So… I cried. Because of a book. So…WHO CARES?! I LOVE THIS BOOK! The ending was magical, and that was where I cried. This book is brilliant. I loved every bit of it.
MATTY SAYS…
I usually read fantasy books but picked up my sister’s Driftwood a while ago and that was it – hooked. The story was so real and I could totally see where Kit was coming from. I’ve read Scarlett and Sundae Girl too, and can’t wait for Lucky Star. Might have to fight my sister for it!
So… are my books just for girls, or should boys read them too? Let me know what YOU think!

Im a girl, but i recken they books are just just as much for boys, as for girls! If i was a boy, i wouldtake some tips as well! Oh, and by the way, i LOVE your books;)
I like the book ‘Sundae Girl’ very much its not based on a girls only book at all (even though it has a girly title and cover)! It shows that there are people out there like that and you just have to go ahead and support them. Great book by a great author!
Lots of boys read books. There’s nothing wrong with that.
i am a girl and i could easily say thatthey are just for girls.. but guys can enjoy them too. its cute that they do!!!
hey cathy! i like all your books and i think its great that boys are reading them as well as girls!
hi there i know your books are fantastic and lots of boys like them i think you wrote the right thing on the back of the book where it says ‘people who like Jacqueline will be crazy over this author’ i think your books are for boys too.
The cover of the book is a bit girly but inside its just like Narnia its a total new world. Yeah so I think that boys should read wonderful books by a wonderful author, Cathy Cassidy.
I think it’s good that boys read Cathy Cassidy books. butif their mates found out… The cover is actually a bit girly, like, but boys CAN read Cathy Csssidy books.
I like CC books, my girlfriend reads them and she lent me Scarlet – I thought the book would be girly, but I liked it alot. I’m reading Driftwood now, also excellent. The covers aren’t my thing but the stores are!
I love CC books. I’m a boy. I don’t care. All the boys tease me but I don’t care I love CC books. I’ve read evry one.
See ya
