Looking at the Stars by Jo Cotterill
5.0
An absolutely stunning book which can hit hard and make you cry. I know I certainly did! The author's writing is so creative and powerful in this that I think this is possibly one of the best books that I've ever read. I would recommend it to anybody that's into powerful books.
Inside Cover:
What if you had nothing left but the tales inside your head?
This is the tale of an ordinary child, just like any other, apart from the terrible times in which she lives.
This is the tale of an extraordinary child, whose wild imagination gives the people around her a reason to survive.
This is the tale of Amina, separated from her family and forced to flee the war ravaging her country, who finds hope in the power of stories to never give up on the people she loves.
This is a tale of love and war, family and friendship, and it will stay with you for as long as the stars are in the sky.
