Friendship, blended families and early-teen confidence are central to Cathy Cassidy’s contemporary fiction. The Chocolate Box Girls series begins with Cherry Crush and follows a blended family of sisters through first love, jealousy, school and changing relationships, with later books shifting the viewpoint between different girls. Dizzy centres on a girl whose absent mother suddenly returns and takes her into a very different way of living, while Scarlett follows another teenager sent away after repeated trouble. Cassidy’s prose is warm, accessible and emotionally direct, with serious family problems handled inside readable, friendship-led stories. For marketplace browsing, the clearest links are tween fiction, sister stories, school and family drama, and gentle coming-of-age. Read more Less
