SO LONG SUMMER…
Sunday 8th September 2013
MBFR Finalists at Puffin Towers – whoop!
This summer has been AWESOME… hot, happy and mega-busy! I’ve been lucky enough to meet lots of my lovely readers, too… you can see some of the kids I met at my events at Carfest North and the Edinburgh Book Festival here! The music for this cool slideshow was written and performed by Dream Teamer Zoe S – what a talent! If YOU fancy starring in a CCTV slideshow, send in a photo (high-res if possible) of you reading one of my books here… I’ll be making another reader slideshow soon, so make your pic as cute/ cool as you can and with luck it will be included!
I’ve been busy getting a few comps up to date too… you can see the winners of the LOST WRITING COMP here. Well done to all who entered… if you fancy testing your skills in writing stories or poetry, check out our NEW WRITING COMP too. Who knows, you could be a winner next time!
Speaking of winners, I am pleased to announce ELLA & ORLI are the winners of the My Best Friend Rocks Comp 2013! You can see some of the fantastic shortlisted entries here. Ella and Orli’s family have asked for their entry not to be broadcast, but trust me it was wonderful – they are very worthy winners. I will be asking Ella and Orli to tell you more about how it feels to be the MBFR winners soon! Big congrats to the other shortlisted friends I met at the MBFR finals, too. Neve, Jessie, Isabel, Lauren, Samantha, Olivia and Ella will all be acting as FRIENDSHIP AMBASSADORS for me this year, and you’ll be hearing more from them on the website soon. We have some very exciting plans in store!
If you’re back at school now, enjoy – and if you have any advice for new Year Sevens/ S1s, or anyone starting a new school, share it here. Let’s make September super-cool!

September is my all time favourite month cause my birthday is on the 20th. Anyone who’s starting a new school, be yourself and don’t let being new get in the way of your personality. Everbody’s been new at some point in their life!
Congrats Ella & Orli
U deserve it 🙂
As well done Ella and Orli! S1’s, don’t worry! It may seem scary starting a new school but trust me, everyone will be really nice to you! Hugs xx
I’ve just started high school and it’s been great,
just been reading a cc book, Cherry crush, I loved the
recipes in the back of the book!
Hi, everyone, I’m trying to improve my reading in school and I’m reading a book by Cathy Cassidy. The book I am reading is called ‘ Sundae Girl ‘. I have also read a bit of Angel Cake and Lucky Star. What books have you read guys?
Summer hols were great! I’m in year 8, advice to any year 7s……………. JUST ENJOY IT!!!!!!!!!!!! xx
Hi I’ve just began year 7 so much home work!!!
Hi Cathy! I got Coco Caramel for my birthday on the 11th of September and I’m already halfway through on chapter 16! I can’t wait to finish so I can read all about Cherry, Skye and Summer, and then when Sweet Honey gets written I’ll read that too! 😀
Yours Sincerely,
ME!
Oh gosh, year 11 is hear already? To all the year 7’s, make sure your time in the younger years is fun, because it flys by and before you know it, you’re thinkning about GCSE’s. Don’t worry about homework, I advise you to do it on the night you get it and have the whole weekend free (because when you hit KS4, a homeworkless weekend is very rare) 🙂 Good luck everyone!
Cathy, you rock!
I have just turned Y6 and am slightly nervous being tallest in the school. I am the oldest girl in the school!
Help. LOL!
