Cathy Cassidy - The Chocolate Box Girls

The Chocolate Box Girls series is all about two families coming together. It features the adventures of the Tanberry sisters, Honey Tanberry, twins Skye and Summer Tanberry, their younger sister, Coco Tanberry and their new step-sister, Cherry Costello who is shy and imaginative. Skye Tanberry loves vintage things, Summer Tanberry is ballet mad, Honey Tanberry is difficult but loves art, and Coco Tanberry is an animal-loving tomboy.

Cherry Crush
Cherry Costello, an outsider all her life, growing up in Glasgow without a mum, has just moved in with the Tanberry family. Her new life seems perfect if a little crazy (especially when a certain green eyed dreamboat Shay Fletcher comes along) step-mum Charlotte loves her and so do three of her new step-sisters, Summer, Skye and Coco. Life is finally great, except for one thing - her stepsister Honey hates Cherry and her dad. With mean comments and snarly indifference could Honey and Cherry's relationship be any worse...Then Cherry's crush Shay Fletcher-- turns out to be Honey's boyfriend...
Marshmallow Skye
Skye and Summer are twins. It used to be lovely when they were still close, but lately Skye's been feeling second best to Summer. And then Skye realises that her friends Millie and Alfie wanted Summer all along. But Skye has something that is hers and only hers. A box of clothes and letters belonging to Clara Travers, a girl who threw herself into the sea out of heartbreak, a girl who is rumoured to still haunt the forests beyond Skye's old home. Then Skye starts dreaming of the past, falling for a boy she can never have and probably never existed. Suddenly, Skye has a mystery to unravel. Yet, focused on her new fantasy, Skye starts preferring her dream-world to real life. Can Summer wake her up before she goes too far...?
Summer's Dream
Summer has always dreamed of dancing, and when a place at ballet school comes up, she wants it so badly that it hurts. Middle school ends and the holidays begin, but unlike her sisters, Summer has no time for lazy days and sunny beach parties. The audition becomes her obsession, and things start spiralling out of control... The more Summer tries to find perfection, the more lost she becomes. She even begins to put the people that matter most to her to the side, her family, friends...even her twin sister, Skye. Will she realize - with the help of the boy who wants more than friendship and knows that Summer is perfect just the way she is - that dreams come in all shapes and sizes?
Bittersweet (World Book Day Book)
Shay, the boy with the cool blond fringe and the blue guitar, the boy who smells of darkness and the ocean, is Cherry’s boyfriend. But it wasn’t always this way. Once, he was Honey's boyfriend, Cherry’s oldest step-sister. Since their break-up, bitterness has twisted every word she’s said to him. Now Honey needs his help. Should Shay reach out to her – or is it safer to steer clear?
Coco Caramel
Coco is crazy about animals and loves her riding lessons. When Caramel, her favourite pony at the stables, is sold, Coco scopes out the new owner - and she's not happy about what she discovers. With big sister Honey going off at the deep end and Summer only just recovering from her eating disorder, there's no-one at Tanglewood to help Coco out. Can Coco save Caramel alone - or will a new friend help her?

Famous quotes containing the words chocolate and/or box:

    The man who invented Eskimo Pie made a million dollars, so one is told, but E.E. Cummings, whose verse has been appearing off and on for three years now, and whose experiments should not be more appalling to those interested in poetry than the experiment of surrounding ice-cream with a layer of chocolate was to those interested in soda fountains, has hardly made a dent in the doughy minds of our so-called poetry lovers.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    The distant box is open. A sound of grain
    Poured over the floor in some eagerness we
    Rise with the night let out of the box of wind.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
