About this listen

Cadmium Casson is 12 years old the summer that everything changes. Not only are her closest friendships in jeopardy, but her mum is expecting a baby. And when the baby arrives early, Caddy's world turns upside down. Her mother spends all her time at the hospital, and her father takes over the household, which of course turns into one chaotic (though hilarious) crisis after the next.

When her charmingly dense boyfriend dumps her, Caddy is at her wits' end. Then she discovers that the fragile baby she is so afraid of losing is not an ending, but a beginning for her whole family. And that love and friendship don't need to be destroyed by change—they can be strengthened.

This is a refreshed cover edition.

Critic reviews

"In this sixth outing the family sparkles as brightly as ever.... With effervescent characters and dialogue, this welcome addition to the Casson saga again strikes a lovely balance between humor and poignancy." (Publishers Weekly)

"McKay’s book provides a perfect introduction to the wonderful Casson family and, as ever, her perceptive writing has the power to both move and amuse readers in turn." (Booktrust)

"Caddy's World excels in portraying not only the thoughts and feelings of four 12-year-old girls, but also those of the Casson parents." (The Times)

I absolutely love these books, they are very nostalgic for me. It was great to get a backstory on Caddy that was so strong, I did not love Caddy Ever After. The only thing I did not enjoy was the sibling relationship between Beth and Juliette. I really don’t enjoy the narrative of younger insensitive siblings where there is no outright acknowledgment of growth or the need for it. Other than that, loved it! I would love to get one more between this one and Saffy’s Angel.

Love revisiting the Casson world
