Just (well about a month ago; but you get the pic!) finished reading 'Finding Cassie Crazy' by Jaclyn Moriarty; author of 'Feeling Sorry for Celia'.

I picked it up at Big W just cause I felt like reading a new book.

In my opinion it was a great choice! It's a quirky story, but was very enjoyable! I don't know how else to explain it, so I'll write the blurb; see if you'd be interested!

"Year 10 is pretty crazy for best friends Lydia, Cassie and Emily, and when their English teacher starts the Pen Pal Project so that they can experience the Joy of the Envelope with boys from scary Brookfield High, life gets even crazier.

As Lydia turns into a secret agent and Emily a relationship expert, it is not so clear what is happening to Cassie. She is writing to someone, but not even her friends know what is going on. Does she even have a pen pal? Or has Cassie really lost it?"

Okay, so reading back on the blurb, it may seem a bit corny; but it's a really good book!

u should try reading the autobiography by Adeline Yen Mah...its interesting and the language is simple and somewhat soft flowing.
