Queen of Teen
Cathy Cassidy has three times been nominated for the Queen of Teen award, in 2008, when it was found, 2010 and 2012. Girls all over the UK can nominate their favourite author and the 10 most popular make the shortlist, in which girls once again must vote their favourite of the selection. Authors have included Sarah Webb, Louise Rennison (the 2008 winner) and Sarra Manning. In 2010, fans voted Cassidy as the winner, and she was crowned with a heavy tiara, pink sash and a silver throne. In 2012, she came as a runner up to Maureen Johnson.

Famous quotes containing the words queen and/or teen:
“Oh Sleep! it is a gentle thing,
Beloved from pole to pole!
To Mary Queen the praise be given!
She sent the gentle sleep from Heaven,
That slid into my soul.”
