LOOKING AT THE STARS
by Joanna Cotterill
Joanna Cotterill's latest work is a deeply-moving stand alone literary novel for 11+ readers about the misery and horror facing so many children living in war-torn countries. Amina thinks her country has been liberated from an oppressive occupier only to witness the so-called liberators brutally murder her father in the street in front of her sisters and mother. Her brother's life is also in mortal danger as he has dared to question the junta. Separated from her little sister and their mother, Amina and her sister Jenna are forced to travel to a refugee camp, enduring cold, danger, hunger and abject fear. There, while on the receiving end of scraps of human kindness, they demonstrate great fortitude and Amina demonstrates the sheer power of storytelling.
