'Stars ... I like them. I mean, I like them A LOT. I like looking and wondering up at them and all their pitter-patter, white-paint-splatter light. But most of all, I like the way stars make me think and feel ...' (Ella Buttons, aged 9 - 'If I Tell the Stars')
From debut author, Lucy Knight, comes this magical, heart-warming story about nine-year-old Ella Buttons and her quest to save her eleven-year-old brother, Dan.
Ella talks to stars and maybe you would too if your granddad had gone to live with them. But can stars mend a heart? - Ella hopes so, because Dan's properly broken his and the doctors haven't fixed it. But what kind of magic mends hearts? Are the stars even listening and can they really help you save your brother's life?
'If I Tell the Stars' is ideal for readers aged 11yrs and over. It will make you smile and cry and maybe ... just maybe ... start talking to the stars too!
