Cathy Cassidy's insight into teenage thinking is pin-point sharp while her light tone makes [her stories]

I read this book over and over again because I loved it so much!! (Angelique, Age 11 )
Product Description
'I never sleep, the night before my birthday . . . it's the only day of the year I hear from her . . .'
Dizzy's mum left when she was small. But every year, on her birthday, something arrives in the post - a present or a card with her mum's loopy writing on it. Dizzy has kept everything.
This year is different. Nothing comes in the post, but something amazing is about to arrive on Dizzy's doorstep. Something that will whisk her away - and put Dizzy's world in a spin.

Format:Paperback
Broken families, irresponsible parents, capable but insecure 12-year-olds - the themes of Dizzy belong firmly in the territory Jacqueline Wilson has so successfully marked out as her own. If you're going to trespass on that territory, you'd better have a talent for writing.
Thankfully, Cathy Cassidy clearly has such a talent. Far from being a Wilson wannabee, she has a strong voice of her own which takes the story off in sometimes unexpected directions. Dizzy is a great read, with a sympathetic and believable main character plunged into a situation beyond her control, and despite the unfortunately pink cover should appeal to all thoughtful and adventurous readers regardless of gender.

This book is a great read - for boys as well as girls. Don't be misled by the girly cover: there's plenty inside to interest boys too. Follow the story of Dizzy's summer, from the moment her long-lost mum turns up on her 12th birthday and whisks her away to experience a very different life from the one she had before. Dizzy encounters a whole range of new people in places she'd never known existed, she makes new friends and experiences life on the road and under canvas at summer festivals. This page-turner makes you want to read on until you find out what happens. By the end of the story Dizzy has changed in a way she couldn't have, had she stayed at home with her dad - and guess where she ends up? I'm not telling you... What are you waiting for? Read it now!
