I have a fervent belief that you can never grow too old for a Cathy Cassidy book. Or maybe I just don't want to. Either way, I'm sure you'll agree with me once you've read the latest instalment in her Chocolate Box Girls series.
There is something special about the way Cathy weaves in important issues to create a delightfully sweet concoction of adventure, young love, growing up and the unwavering idea that anything is possible.
Coco is the youngest of the Tanberry sisters and one of my favourites. She's feisty and spirited and has a determination I can only dream of! She has such passion for doing right by her family and and always at the best intentions at heart. I especially enjoyed her naivete - it was a fresh reprieve from the pressures of real life.
The plot itself was delightfully spun and really showed off Coco at her best. It was sweet and daring - everything Coco encompasses really. There was a little romance swirled in to the mix too, which was very innocent and tentative. I just love it when the secretive, moody guy reveals a different side: a kinder and softer one.
Overall, Coco Caramel is a wonderful, light read perfect for lazy days in the sun. It explores the journey of growing up and encourages you to reach for the stars and that nothing is impossible as long as you put your heart to it.
Coco may be the youngest of the five Tanberry girls, but she can be as tough as her big sister Honey and as determined as either of the twins, Summer and Skye. Coco is always trying to save someone, whether it's the giant panda, a bullied boy or her favourite pony.
If only Lawrie, the moodiest guy in the school, would stop getting in her way, things would be fine. But has Coco bitten off more than she can chew this time?
