The Lovereading comment:
Friends and relationships are the hallmarks of Cathy’s novels as she portrays her characters and their friendships particularly well. The plot lines are easy to get into, there’s always a subliminal message too and in Angel Cake it’s don’t judge a book by its cover as first impressions aren’t always right. Yet again she doesn’t disappoint, Angel Cake is a cracking, fast-paced easy read for 9+ year olds.

Reviews
Praise for Cathy's books: Touching, tender and unforgettable -- TheGuardian
Cathy Cassidy's insight into teenage thinking is pin-point sharp while her light tone makes [her stories] sing. -- Julia Eccleshare Lovereading4kids.co.uk Angel Cake is awesome! It took three days to read and I loved it so much. I wish it could be made into a movie. -- Britt, Age 13
About The Author
"I was born in 1962 in Coventry (scarily ancient, I know). I wrote my first picture book for my little brother when I was eight or nine. I loved making comics, too - pages and pages of picture stories, features and competitions. I'd sell my homemade comic to a friend for 5p, then claim it back and sell it again to someone else; they didn't have photocopiers back then!"
Cathy has been writing fabulous stories ever since. Her books have sold over one million copies in the UK alone. She is the bestselling author of Dizzy, Driftwood, Indigo Blue, Scarlett, Sundae Girl, Lucky Star, Gingersnaps and Angel Cake. The Chocolate Box Girls is a sumptuous series starring sassy sisters, super-cool boys and one of Cathy's biggest loves - chocolate.
Cathy went to Art College in Liverpool then got a job as fiction editor on Jackie magazine. She taught art in a Coventry secondary school for a few years before moving to Scotland with her husband to start a family. She continued to be an art teacher in the wilds of west Scotland for several years until she became a full-time writer. She has two children and together with her husband Liam they live in a cottage in the Galloway hills in Scotland with sheep and cows for neighbours.
