Completely Cassidy.
Completely Cassidy, by Tamsyn Murray. What it is about: "My life is a joke. Actually, that's not true - it's too TRAGIC to be funny - but it IS a total disaster. You might think that I sound a teensy bit DRAMA-QUEEN-ISH here but that's because you don't know the full horror." So says Cassidy Bond at the beginning of her story about the first term at her new school as a Year Seven. Her mother's pregnant, her father's an Elvis Presley impersonator, her brother's in a rock band, one of her two best friends is acting very strangely.

Angela Nicely.
Angela Nicely, by Alan MacDonald. Illustraed by David Roberts. What it's about: Three short stories. Three funny situations. One single-minded, determined little girl. Angela Nicely (about 6 years old, I think) is an engaging, if not what you'd call a well-behaved, girl. Her misbehaviour is not malicious (perhaps with the exception of getting her modelling rival wet) as much as singularly focused. Who wouldn't want to figure out if the head teacher is wearing a wig? How else are you meant to get on top in the modelling game? And when a weekend spa turns out to be a weekend arghh!, you have to do something, right? What is it…
