Caddy's World by Hilary McKay
5.0
I will review this book the same way I reviewed Forever Rose.
I remember when I was younger and Caddy and I would meet up to talk. I was several years younger than her, but we were still great friends as cousins go. She would tell me about all of her friends: Beth and Alison and Ruby. Beth was the one with the pony, Alison the one who lived next door, and Ruby was the clever one. She was going through a hard time, Saffy had only recently joined the family and Indigo was a little younger than her. Rose had just been born, and wasn't expected to live very long. So with Alison moving out and Ruby moving school on top of all that, she had a lot to talk about. Beth had weird stuff going on too, but she mostly kept that to herself. Of course, as it always does with the Cassions, everything came out ok in the end. Even though she couldn't change anything that happened, she manages to deal with it. My biggest memory was of Lost Property the bird. I helped her look after him.
