Dear Me, Grandad took me to town today and let me buy whatever clothes I wanted. Mum would never have let me off so lightly! Everything's changed for Cathy - she's moved in with Gr andad while Mum's in hospital and she has to go to a new school where she doesn't know anyone. But life with Grandad is not so bad; between writing in her diary, learning to cook and making new friends Cathy doesn't have time to be sad! Review 'Cathy uses her diary/journal to sort out her worries and thoughts in a comic, tender and energy-renewing way. The story is full of detail and expert characterisation and effortlessly bridges the so-called generation gaps.' -- Village Magazine Village Magazine 'funny but often poignant ... A powerful little book which, although it deals with some fairly heavy themes, is aimed at girls aged eight plus and tackles the issues sensitively enough for young readers.' -- Evening Echo Evening Echo 'Cathy has an authentic and sincere voice that make her an immediately likeable character. The issues . . Are sensitively handled with the indomitable Cathy facing her challenges with hope and fears.' -- Bookfest 2006" Show more
