Get to know the Casson family in this refreshingly wise, funny and poignant story from award-winning author, Hilary McKay.
Cadmium Casson is 12 years old the summer that everything changes. Not only are her closest friendships in jeopardy, but her mum is expecting a baby. And when the baby arrives early, Caddy's world turns upside down. Her mother spends all her time at the hospital, and her father takes over the household, which of course turns into one chaotic (though hilarious) crisis after the next.
When her charmingly dense boyfriend dumps her, Caddy is at her wits' end. Then she discovers that the fragile baby she is so afraid of losing is not an ending, but a beginning for her whole family. And that love and friendship don't need to be destroyed by change – they can be strengthened.
This is a refreshed cover edition.
'In this sixth outing the family sparkles as brightly as ever ... With effervescent characters and dialogue, this welcome addition to the Casson saga again strikes a lovely balance between humor and poignancy.'
Publishers Weekly
'McKay’s book provides a perfect introduction to the wonderful Casson family and, as ever, her perceptive writing has the power to both move and amuse readers in turn.'
Booktrust
'Caddy's World excels in portraying not only the thoughts and feelings of four 12-year-old girls, but also those of the Casson parents.'
The Times
'A triumph of humour, emotion and realism.'
