SHAY’S STORY…
Monday 15th October 2012
Thanks so much to all who took part in my fun CC Survey… the survey is closed now and lucky reader Molly H won the £50 New Look vouchers… enjoy, Molly! You all loved the survey, so maybe we’ll do a few more soon… it’s a fab way to find out what you’re up to!
One thing you were all very clear on after Cherry Crush was published – you wanted to hear more from cool surfer-boy Shay Fletcher. I had already planned the Chocolate Box Girls series as five books, each from the viewpoint of a different sister… so I didn’t think I’d manage a book for Shay too. Then those awesome World Book Day people asked if I’d write them a mini book for World Book Day 2013… fate, huh? My World Book Day book, Bittersweet, tells Shay’s story – and let’s just say he’s not having much luck! Expect music, mix-ups and major fall-outs in Bittersweet… plus a happy ending, of course! Bittersweet will be in all good UK bookstores from the end of February 2013, ready for World Book Day on March 9th… and best of all, it costs just £1. Bargain!
Although at present Bittersweet will be available in UK only, my fab publisher Puffin are looking into the options for publishing it as an e-book for overseas readers too… fingers crossed!
Let me know what you think – and tell me which CC characters YOU’D like to hear more from, too!

i cant wait!! i was not expecting shays story but it will be amazing!! now every cathy cassidy fan in my class knows about bittersweet thanks to me!
Aww can’t wait to get Bittersweet!!! I wanna hear more about Alfie!!! He’s so funny! 🙂
i cant waaaiiiit 4 bittersweet to come out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ive got every single 1 of ur books!!!=] x
Yay! I can’t wait to order it on my kindle!!!!! It sounds amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ooh! I’d love to hear from the boys. I think it’s interesting to see stuff from a guy’s perspective. A nice fresh take on things (including a bit more football too!). Actually, I’d be quite interested in a story about a girl who loves football. Also (this is making me sound spoilt, but when you make up your own stuff about characters it is never as good as when the original author writes it) I’m SO sad about Daizy Star. Maybe Cathy could write a book for older readers about Daizy and include lots of other characters like a mixed-up version (I’m talking Scarlett becoming pen-pals with Jude, Beth moving house and ending up at the same school as Coco and Dizzy and Finn meeting Daizy’s dad in an online eco-chatroom (he hasn’t ENTIRELY passed his environment phase; after all, geography is about appreciating the beauty of the earth around us – My SOSE teacher told me that)
Or, as Cathy is (understandably) busy writing us even more amazing books, I could stick to dreaming up a combined book. Anyone else interested in this idea?
Bye!
I think u should write a book about sam taylor from gingersnaps so we can see the truth behind his life such as why he wears ridiculous hats and outfits and why his parents split up,plz,thx!
It would be a dream come true if you could do Alfie. He is one of my favorite characters !! 😀
I haven’t even read it yet and I already know that it’s going to be fantastic.
YES! I was extatic when I was reading this! 🙂 I’d love a sixth book for the chocolate box girls… perhaps a diary, and they all write a chapter? Cherry and Shay are my favourite characters from you!!
it would be great if you did alfie i think it would be intresting to read !!!!
