Caddy's World by Hilary McKay
5.0
I like to read about the Cassons when I'm sad or anxious. It's like receiving a long, comfortable hug from someone in a very soft sweater.
I remember being skeptical of this book when it was first released, since it is more of a prequel to the others. But I adore seeing the Cassons so many years earlier, the way each person acts authentically younger, less self-conscious, less set in stone, and yet the seeds of each future personality are already poking up through the dirt. McKay is a genius and I will probably read these books until I die.
(I've actually read this four times, but sorry, Goodreads, I have no idea when.)
