Glassheart by Katharine Orton
5.0
Wow, wow, wow! This was a beautiful story. It is magical and real & touches upon the beautiful truth that if you show someone kindness when they are hurting then you can truly change a life.
Nona is strong & fierce whilst also being the right balance of confident and insecure. Orphaned in the war, her adopted father Uncle Antoni cared for her and teaches her what it means to make beautiful pieces of art with glass. She keeps her own token, a half heart made of glass, close to her not realising how important it will be in shaping her destiny.
I loved Castor and could picture his smile very vividly while I was reading.
Brilliant middle grade book that could be enjoyed by anyone, especially as a class book for Year 5/6.
