A mãe da Aniyah já não está neste mundo, mas a Aniyah acredita que a mãe se transformou numa estrela que vai cuidar dela e do seu irmãozinho Noah lá no céu.
Enquanto isso, os irmãos vão viver para uma casa de acolhimento, onde são acolhidos por uma senhora muito simpática, a senhora Iwchukwu. Nesta casa, já estão a viver três outras crianças. Ben e Travis dão-se logo muito bem com Aniyah e o seu irmão. Já Sophie, uma rapariga de 13 anos, vai querer transformar a vida dos novos irmãos num inferno...
Quando é anunciada o nascimento de uma estrela especial, que até desafiava as leis da física, a Aniyah tem a certeza que se trata da sua mãe.
Ao descobriu que Observatório Real de Londres abriu um concurso para dar um nome à estrela, a Aniyah sabe que tem de ir a Londres para fazer com que os “caçadores de estrelas” não dêem o nome errado à sua mãe.
Com a companhia do Ben e do Travis, a Aniyah e o Noah vão para Londres...
Muitas hilariantes aventuras irão ocorrer, sem esquecer o facto de que o grupo vai ter um encontro inesquecível com a maior estrela de Hollywood!
Mas será que a Aniyah vai conseguir apelidar a estrela com o nome da mãe?
Este livro retrata um tema muito atual, que é a violência doméstica, e penso ter sido muito bem escrito.
Adoro a escrita desta autora, e por isso recomendo este livro!

Recommend this story. It has some hard topics but the story is engaging and I really liked the ending.
This book broke my heart and made me cry especially in the last few chapters. I made the mistake of reading this at work and I had to hide my sniffles. This was a little hard for me to read because the characters feel very real and you just want give them a big hug and protect them at all cost.
This story follows two siblings, Aniyah and Noah who are in foster care due to domestic abuse from their father. It touches on the effect domestic abuse has on them and the lengths that Aniyah goes to remember their mother who died from abuse. Noah, who is still very young may not be able to remember every detail about their mother but Aniyah is always quick to remind him. Aniyah and Noah are not aware that their mother had died. On the night it happened, Aniyah heard a loud bang and believed that her mother’s heart had exploded into a star. When a rare star was found, Aniyah thought that their mother had found a way back to them and so an adventure begins.
Reading about domestic violence is never easy but reading about domestic violence in a child’s perspective is very, very tough. Often times, children don’t realise they are being abused and they do not know the term ‘domestic abuse’ which was what this story portrayed. I learned that we can never underestimate a love of a parent (be it mom or dad) and what lengths they would go in order to protect their children but I also learned that there are parents out there who would do the complete opposite and have no qualms in hurting their children. This is a beautiful read for me and I highly recommend giving this a go.

The star outside my window follows 2 siblings as they are put into foster care and become part of a new family. The children go on a big adventure with other children from their foster family to name a new star which they children believe is their mum. The story has lots of difficult themes including domestic violence, death and foster care which could be quite upsetting for some children. It would be important to consider the individuals in the class before using this book. If the book was used I would have PSHE lessons alongside covering the themes and would use the book with year 5 or 6 children.
The book could link well to a topic of space and would work well as a read aloud book. The adventure aspect of the story is likely to engage many children and make them want to read on.
