Erika McGann’s new series is as lively and quick-witted as its central character Cass Okara, founder of the Bubble Street Gang … Cass is exactly the kind of person you’d want leading your gang or as a friend. She has the best ideas, is very funny indeed and never lets anything get her down. This is a hugely entertaining read, full of the kind of adventure that all children could see themselves having, and featuring a great cast of interesting characters.  Nice to see too that it’s not just youngsters who get up to mischief with their friends … There’s a great deal of fun and action packed into a short extent, and the chatty, direct voice McGann gives Cass keeps the pages turning nicely.  Illustrations by Vince Reid add to the appeal’

-- Books for Keeps

Cass is a real force of nature, lively, impulsive, never short of ideas or the nerve and determination to make them happen. The adventures she gets up to with Nicholas and Lex make great reading, and there’s a special role too for Lex’s equally enterprising granny; as much fun as having your own gang and clubhouse
