zlib_text: About Cassidy Bond
  With my embarrassing dad, pregnant mum, loser brother and knicker-chewing dog, I’m practically
  INVISIBLE in my family. So even though starting Year Seven is totally NAIL-BITING, I’m *hoping*
  this is my time to shine. Because guess what?
  We had to take this test at school, and I am officially GIFTED AND TALENTED. It’s a bit weird as I
  picked my answers at random, but the school wouldn’t make a mistake about my GENIUS…would
  they?
  
  For the pupils of Oakmere Primary School and The Wroxham School, who know READING
  TOTALLY ROCKS.
