Hilary McKay revisits the Casson family, but this time with a difference... Go back in time... Caddy is 12, grappling with school, best friends, first boyfriends, younger siblings and the unexpected arrival of one baby Permanent Rose who has arrived in the world a little sooner than expected. While baby Rose lies in critical condition in hospital, life goes on in the unpredictable, colourful Casson household…
'Hilary McKay, the best writer of child dialogue around at the moment, has come up with another winner.' Nicholas Tucker, Independent 'If you haven't read these books, what on earth are you waiting for? You won't find a more endearing, eccentric, maddening and marvellously warm family in any other book, by anyone, ever.' The Ultimate Book Guide REVIEWS FOR THE CASSON FAMILY: 'Witty, warm and humourous ... family reading par excellence.' Carousel 'A crazily fantastic story with loads of mad and hilarious moments.' Independent on Sunday 'It does what we hope JK Rowling would do: it makes everything you wish for come true, including the unlikeliest of outcomes.' Sunday Times 'Hilary McKay's wittily observed portrayals of family life are full of warmth, vitality and irrepressible good humour.' Kate Agnew, The Guardian 'just the sort of crazy family you ache to be a part of.' The Good Book Guide '... we are so fond of this fresh, funny, foolish, wise, real family.' The Horn Book Magazine '... as wild and endearing as ever ... Another charmer for Casson fans.' Booklist '... touching and hiarious. Beautifully crafted descriptive language makes this offering a real gem.' School Library Journal McKay has a genius for domestic comedy. The Sunday Times Hilary McKay's strength lies in her understanding of young people and her ability to evoke them very simply. The Guardian 'Warm, witty and wise, with unfeasibly broad appeal and proven anti-depressive properties, i would give this book to 9-year olds, teenagers and their parents.' Sunday Telegraph '... hugely entertaining story effortlessly recreates a tightly knit world, imbued with a strong sense of belonging - a slice of childhood so multi-layered, touching and real that there's something for every child reader to identify with and savour. Here's a book that truly proves the joys to be had from reading.' Books for Keeps Hard to think of a writer for 10-13s who writes so freshly and wisely about family and friends Sunday Times
