SCARLETT by Cathy Cassidy
SCARLETT by Cathy Cassidy
Scarlett is a twelve year old trouble maker. She has been kicked out of four schools in two years. But with her ketchup dyed hair and black fingernails, and tongue piercing, its what’s expected from her. Finally, as a last resort, her mother sends her to Ireland to live with her father. At first, Scarlett aches for London, but with the help of a mysterious boy, Kian, his horse, and her new family, Scarlett will finally find who she really is and where she belongs.
When Scarlett arrives at her father’s house in Ireland, she thinks that it’s the worst place ever. All country, a little step-sister, and another on the way, courtesy of Clare, the woman who stole her father away. After a few (hilarious) incidents, Scarlett realizes that she loves these people, and that she needs to try harder, for everyone’s sake. She learns what a family truly is, and once she puts aside her own anger, more importantly, she finds out who her family truly is.
RECOMMENDED FOR GIRLS IN GRADES 6 TO 8.
