Nayu's thoughts
I've never
known such an important snow globe! It signifies so much to Abi on a
personal level, and what happens to it throughout the story has a
deep and lasting impact on Abi's new friendships. What I love about
Jean's work is that I frequently have no clue what's coming next in
the story, leaving plenty of twists for me.
I liked the alternate
look at friendship Abi's life explores, how true friends are hard to
find and not always who you think they are. The illustrations bring
an extra dimension to Abi, who I frequently felt sorry and
uncomfortable for. Because of her friendship choices she suffers a
little at home with her parents having views on her friends too. I
promise it has a happy ending! It's firmly sat on my reread shelf.
Suggested read
Read Jane's other books which include Star For A Day by Jean Ure (Children's, Reading Age 8 years +, Intended Age 9 years + 10E/10E)
