Scarlett, by Cathy Cassidy, is 261 pages of colorful excitement and drama. It is about young Scarlett, a 12 year old girl who lives with her mom in London. After being kicked out of her 6th school in 2 years, her mom can't handle it. Off Scarlett goes, but this time in Ireland! Scarlett's mom sends her off to go live with her father, the same man that left them both and changed Scarlett's life. She wasn't always getting into trouble. Scarlett used to be a good student, very well- behaved. After being left though, she changed dramatically. Scarlett began skipping school, being rude and defiant, and dyed her hair the color of ketchup. Once Scarlett settles in at Ireland and everything seems just about right, everything goes wrong. Scarlett goes through some extremely rough times, but in the end, she ends up with a family and a life lesson that changed her from being a snooty little girl, into the daughter of a family she can hang onto forever. Whether it's Scarlett getting her tongue pierced, or sneaking out at night with her friend Kian that nobody knows about, she always has something that will make your eyes pop out of your head. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a story that you won't want to put down as soon as you pick it up!
