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 of, queen and/or teen:
“They’re here, though; not a creature failed,
No blossom stayed away
In gentle deference to me,
The Queen of Calvary.
Each one salutes me as he goes,”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Children ... after a certain age do not welcome parental advice. Occasionally, they may listen to another adult, which is why perhaps people should switch children with their neighbors and friends for a while in the teen years!”
—Marian Wright Edelman (20th century)
