About this ebook

Dizzy by Cathy Cassidy is an irresistible story for girls aged 9+

'I never sleep, the night before my birthday . . . it's the only day of the year I hear from her . . .'

Dizzy's mum left when she was small. But every year, on her birthday, something arrives in the post - a present or a card with her mum's loopy writing on it. Dizzy has kept everything.
This year is different. Nothing comes in the post, but something amazing is about to arrive on Dizzy's doorstep. Something that will whisk her away - and put Dizzy's world in a spin.

Will her secret birthday wish come true?

'Touching, tender and unforgettable' - Guardian

Ratings and reviews

I cried so much. Don't know y but just finished reading it today. In my top 5 books at the moment. Cathy cassidy is an amazing author! X

Well this book was just amazing and yes you do need to be older to read it because it does say about drugs and hippies, but overall great book. Oh and I am 12 and my mum said it doesn't matter.

A fantastic read that had me clutching the book like a life line. I felt as I was missing something if i didn't have it in my purse!
