Life seems to be getting harder for Skye so will she stop thinking about Summer all the time and find her own chance to shine??? There's an added complication for Skye because she's a twin and people assume that they are the same. Even Summer fails to appreciate that Skye has her own preferences and expects that she will fit in with Summer's views. If Summer wants a birthday party then obviously Skye will want one too. Perhaps the most difficult point for Skye is that Summer dislikes her interest in the past and in consequence Skye can't tell her just how much she is being affected by the story of the girl who used to live in the house. Skye feels an isolation that will be understood by many girls of this age. Summer has always dreamed of dancing, and when a place at ballet school comes up, she wants it so badly it hurts.

Skye and Summer were identical twins. The first thing they did when they were born was hold hands (how cute?). They finished one another’s sentences, felt what the other felt. But recently, everything had changed. It had always been “we”; now there was “you” and “me”. It was so interesting seeing how the twin whole twin-thing works and how their relationship developed, The more Summer tries to find perfection, the more lost she becomes. Will she realise - with the help of the boy who wants more than friendship - that dreams come in all shapes and sizes?

Reviews

I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag – I just wish that I didn't have to wait a year to find out what happens next! We also have a review of The Chocolate Box Girls: Coco Caramel by Cathy Cassidy. I finished this book yesterday, and Cathy Cassidy is my favourite author. I would recommend this book for ages 9+.

Cathy Cassidy was voted Queen of Teen in 2010 - beating Jacqueline Wilson and Louise Rennison to the throne. I’ve been veggie for 30 years, and was vegan for 8 of them – a chocolate-eating vegan, like Storm! I love old clothes, old toys, cars, books. We have three cats, two rabbits and a mad, hairy lurcher called Kelpie (the model for Leggit in my book Dizzy). Its about a girl called Skye who had an unberably ‘better at everything then her’ twin names Summer. Summer and Skye used to always do everything together but nowadays they seem to be drifting apart… Even worse, when her best friend; Alfie, admits he’s fallen for Summer and not her it hurts.I treasure this book – it’s…. deep breath Amazfantasbrillgreatgoodexcelloveawesome! Yup. That new word perfectly describes ALL of Cathy’s books. It doesn't seem like a year since I first met the Tanberry sisters in Cherry Crush because they're all very fresh in my mind. The five girls – four of them are called Tanberry and Cherry is their step-sister – are all just preteen or in their early teens, with Honey as the oldest and Coco as the youngest. Honey is still not coping with the fact that her father has left – and is now living in Australia – or with the arrival of Paddy and Cherry. On occasions she's not just difficult – she's dreadful.

Her twin Summer was quiet, confident and addicted to ballet. She was also a real feminist – woman power means that boys and romance equals trouble. But she wasn’t nearly as supportive of Skye as Skye was for her. She just didn’t understand that some things were as important to Skye as ballet was to her. I think she thought that identical twins were identical in all ways, and she struggled when she realises that wasn’t true. At one point, I wanted to just yell at Summer and shake her, like: “can’t you see how much you are hurting Skye?!” But then, she just changed in my eyes. I love characters that do that – that become so strong you just can never tell where they’re going. Another really good instalment in the series. Skye is trying to stay herself when everyone around her has decided to start ‘growing up’ by being into boys and such. But she has no interest in any of that and feels quite mature without it all. Skye also has a big interest in history and a certain mystery of the past that relates to their estate. I liked where that storyline went although it did get a bit cheesy at the very end of the book. Third must-have title in this gorgeous series from one of the UK's best-loved girls' authors, Cathy Cassidy. She and Dad are moving to Somerset where a new mum and a bunch of brand-new sisters await. And on Cherry's first day there she meets Shay Fletcher - the kind of boy who should carry a government health warning. But Shay already has a girlfriend, Cherry's new stepsister, Honey. Cherry knows her friendship with Shay is dangerous - it could destroy everything. But that doesn't mean she's going to stay away from him...

Activities & resources

Skye Tanberry feels like she’s constantly living in her identical twin’s shadow. Skye loves Summer more than anything… But she’s tired of feeling second best, like a mirror girl. So when Skye finds a trunk full of beautiful old clothes, belonging to a long-dead relative, she sees an opportunity to be different. Only, when she tries the dresses on, she has dreams. Dreams that feel real. Dreams in which she doesn’t feel herself… Dreams in which she is Clara Travers, her dead relative, dead by suicide…. And then she finds herself falling in love with an equally long-dead gypsy boy – a boy who probably is just a figment of her imagination… But is he? After all, Clara did love a young gypsy boy… Skye and Summer are twins, and they love each other so much - but recently, Skye feels a bit like second-best, in the shadow of her sister, especially when her friend confesses it's not her he's fallen for - it's Summer. The next scrumptious story in Cathy Cassidy's Chocolate Box Girls series, following Cherry Crush and Marshmallow Skye. Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson. The next instalment in the addictive Chocolate Box Girls series and sequel to Cherry Crush, Marshmallow Skye, Summer's Dream and Coco Caramel. I really enjoyed all the hidden mystery, secrets and history - this mixed in with an ordinary girl's life; falling in love, sibling rivalry etc, made the book a really good read. Also, I would call Cherry Crush a light read, but Marshmallow Skye was just amazing!
