When Katy falls off her swing and breaks her spine, her whole life is turned topsy-turvy…
Before her accident, Katy and her step-mother weren’t exactly the best of friends, but the accident means that Izzie (Katy’s step-mother) has to give up her job, and both of them being at home all day helps each of them to be more friendly towards the other. When Katy goes back to school, it isn’t very nice in the beginning as she has to use a wheel chair because her legs are paralysed. Then, in in a PE lesson, she gets a chance to do sports in her wheel chair, and she realises that everything isn’t so bad after all...
If you have read What Katy Did, then you will enjoy Katy a lot. Katy is very similar to What Katy Did, but Katy is based in our time. Both books are similar but different at the same time e.g. In What Katy Did, it is cousin Helen that comes to visit, but in Katy it’s Helen – one of their dad’s patients.
The main character is Katy, who is an adventurous and lively 11 year old living with her father, her step-mother, and her 5 brothers and sisters: Clover, Elsie, Dorry, Jonnie, and Phil.
I think you should read Katy because it’s an interesting and exciting novel, full of happiness and sadness. I could not stop reading Katy because I always want to know what happiness came next. I recommend if you want to read Katy you should read What Katy Did either after or before. I was counting down the days until Katy came out because I really love the author: I have read all of Jacqueline Wilson’s books, and because I have read What Katy Did, I was looking forward to find out about Katy.
Jacqueline Wilson has written over a hundred books! I really like her books because they are happy, sad, exciting, and interesting. I hope you will read Katy and enjoy it like I did!
