Reviews / Votes
'No Shame' is the most important book in this round-up and you should buy a copy for yourself and everyone you know * Maximum Pop * Whilst this book was tough to read at times, it's an exceptionally important one. Stacey's emotions were so honest, and her story was powerful. I couldn't help but feel proud of how she managed to deal with everything that was thrown in front of her. She had moments of doubt, but she fought through them and came out stronger. I love that YA stories like this one are out there and, whilst the ending was bittersweet for me, I'm happy that Cassidy told Stacey's story in the way that she did * Queen of Teen Fiction * For such a short read, it doesn't half pack a punch. It leaves you with so many questions and it is really, incredibly effecting. This is most definitely a novel for older teens, but it should most definitely be taught to all Year 11s or sixth formers. Because it's so eye-opening and harrowing, but also the way Stacey takes a stand makes you want to stand up and applaud her * Girl VS Books * a hard-hitting, raw series perfect for lighting a fire in anyone who reads it to fight for justice * Heart Full of Books * Once I started reading each book I couldn't stop, it kind of has that effect on you. I do hope that readers will enjoy both books as much as I have. I honestly very highly recommend both books No Virgin and No Shame * I Read Novels *More details

Person
Anne Cassidy was born in London in 1952. She was an awkward teenager who spent the Swinging Sixties stuck in a convent school trying, dismally, to learn Latin. She was always falling in love and having her heart broken. She worked in a bank for five years until she finally grew up. She then went to college before becoming a teacher for many years. In 2000 Anne became a full-time writer, specialising in crime stories and thrillers for teenagers. In 2004 LOOKING FOR JJ was published to great acclaim, going on to be shortlisted for the 2004 Whitbread Prize and the 2005 Carnegie Medal. MOTH GIRLS, published in 2016, was nominated for the 2017 CILIP Carnegie Medal and shortlisted for the 2017 Sheffield Children's Book Award.
