Children’s author Cathy Cassidy is appearing in Edinburgh on 28 April 2012 at 2.30 p.m at Waterstone’s George Street.

She has written The Chocolate Box Girls which are five irresistible books about five very different sisters.

Marshmallow Skye is the second in this delicious series – Meet the Tanberry sisters and decide which one is your favourite!

From Cathy’s first  novel, Dizzy, to her recent much-loved stories of friendships, families and fun, Cathy has gained an army of devoted fans who have long been clamouring after a series from their favourite author. The new series is a modern day Little Women with brilliantly drawn sisters and a fantastic new look.

SKYE and SUMMER TANBERRY are identical twins, and Skye loves her sister Summer more than anyone else in the world. They do everything together, but lately Skye’s been feeling like second-best – it’s the story of her life. And when her friend Alfie confesses he’s fallen not for her, but for Summer, it hurts.

Skye wants to be her own person, but with an effortlessly cool twin, how can she? Will Skye ever step out of Summer’s shadow and find her own chance to shine?
