The story is written from Cassie’s perspective but also includes snippets of social media messages between peers which could give children a short respite between chapters.

The font is easy to access and spaced out well, potentially reducing visual stress. The content is engaging with humour and pop references making the book attractive to young readers. A great choice for those interested in friendships, new hobbies, fashion and eco-friendly crafts.
