Scarlett is in trouble and excluded from yet another school, this time her mother is at her wit’s end so sends her to rural Ireland to stay with her father and new stepfamily. In this totally alien setting a teenage boy on a horse, a local loch and a tree as well as the unconditional love of her stepsister all play a part in helping Scarlett to cope.

Review by Mairi: Scarlett was a really good book.
I chose the book because my friends had said it was a book that you could not put down.
Review by Amy:
Scarlett was interesting and an emotional book in many respects. Divorce has torn the main character, Scarlett, from her family and she feels alone and unwanted. It is written in the form of a diary and shows Scarlett’s take and views on the world. At the start, Scarlett is a lawless rule-breaker who can’t seem to settle down.
Once her mother has had enough, Scarlett is sent to Ireland to live with her dad. After a disastrous first day at school, resulting in her running out of it, Scarlett meets a boy, named Kian, by Lough Choill. Kian seems to understand her and takes her home to her father. Scarlett is then home-schooled and spends more time with Kian and his horse, Midnight, at the Lough.
I feel that this book is perfect for anyone who has found life difficult because of family issues, as it shows that you are not alone in the world.
Rating 10/10

I love scarlett and have read all of Cathy Casssidy’s books.
From my perspective a book is a new world that only you can understand, it doesn’t matter if a hundred authors say one thing, at the end of the day your imagination is limit less
