Chocolate Box Girls Coco Caramel

Grace O'Callaghan

This is the 4th instalment of the Chocolate Box Girls series and we follow determined animal-lover Coco Tanberry. I actually read this one first (I didn’t know it was a series) and it still remains my favourite. While it wasn’t as good as I remember, I still had a fun time reading it and feeling nostalgic.

Coco is probably my favourite Tanberry sister. She’s just so passionate about saving the world and hopeful about everything. She is however a bit judgemental about her friends experimenting with makeup and growing up which wasn’t entirely fair.

I’m intrigued to read Honey’s story next as I hope that it’ll be different to all the other books. Honey is usually trying to get her act together at the start of each book, but then it turns out that she’s been secretly being rebellious all along. I just hope that we see more development from her in her book.

I think the plot of this one was definitely more solid than the previous books. It had a clear direction, and that was to save ponies from the animal abuser Mr Seddon. I would like to see more of Paddy and Charlotte as they can be absent at times and only come in at the absolute last second to sort through the situations with Honey and the other sisters.

As always I really love the setting. I’ve lived in Somerset so I know most of the places mentioned and it just makes the story more grounded and real to me. I’m just able to picture the places so vividly because I’ve been to them.

Overall, a solid read. I last read this book when I was probably around 11 and it’s been quite a few years since then, so this isn’t really targeted towards me, but I still have fun reading them.

Another delicious book in the Chocolate Box Girls series, a sequel to Cherry Crush, Marshmallow Skye and Summer's Dream, from bestselling girls' favourite, Cathy Cassidy. Coco is the youngest of the Tanberry sisters but she's as headstrong as any of them. Coco is crazy about animals and loves her riding lessons. When 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 Skye only just recovering from her eating disorder, Coco can't rely on family help. Can Coco save Caramel alone - or will a new friend help her? A perfect next step for fans of Jacqueline Wilson, by the bestselling author of Scarlett, Dizzy, Angel Cake and Ginger Snaps. For all the latest Cathy news, visit www.cathycassidy.com
