A Pocketful of Stars
Publisher: Farshore
A Pocketful of Stars is a sad but heart-warming tale of finding hope in the past to help survive the present.
Thirteen-year-old Safiya is an avid gamer with a big imagination, who feels both misunderstood and distanced from her mum since her parents split up.
But when she suddenly falls ill, it’s up to Safiya to use her gaming skills of following clues and building stories to uncover the truth about her mum’s history and find the things about her that will bind them together forever.
A beautifully written and page-turning read, set in London and Kuwait, that deals with changing friendships, family dynamics and learning how to say goodbye. A good read for those interested in stories around world-building, magic and dealing with bereavement.

Very heart warming and touching. There was both a happy and a sad ending, but I loved it. About the loving bond of a mother and daughter and how the daughter thinks that they're different with nothing similar between them. But she finds out soon enough that in fact the burning fire inside them is the same - glowing red and orange.

I read this about 5 or 6 years ago. I have been reading since I was a baby. In all of that time, this is the only book that has ever brought tears to my eyes. At the ending, I was crying. Absolutely moving!
