Nika –
Our pick of the month for June was A Glasshouse of Stars by Shirley Marr, because we absolutely love it!
Moving to a whole new country where she doesn’t know anyone is already difficult enough for Meixing, but when she notices that the house in which she lives is changing – adding or vanishing rooms without rhyme or reason, that is SCARY! And there is a mysterious glasshouse in the garden, which has a very unique gatekeeper.
A powerful story of kindness, resilience and imagination based on the author’s childhood experience of migration.
A perfect read for 9+ and every Neil Gaiman fan.
