Mabel Mynt knows a lot about space...like how we feel connected to the stars because we are all made of stardust. And that Mum's new boyfriend, Galactic Gavin, has eyes that twinkle like Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky. And that sometimes the perfect place for her sister Terrible Topaz would be a black hole.
But Mabel doesn't know how to fill the space in her heart that Dad left when he walked out. And so she sets out on a mission of discovery...
A heart-warming and hilarious story about learning that love is never lost and change doesn't have to be scary.
Lara Williamson was born and studied in Northern Ireland, before moving to London. She became an author after working for magazines including ELLE, New Woman and J17. Her books have been shortlisted for lots of prizes, including the Waterstones Children's Book Prize and the Blue Peter Book Award. She loves tap-dancing, daydreaming, eating chips, wearing glitter and writing. Not necessarily in that order.
Lara's writing is quirky, original and brilliantly addictive

Poignant, funny and eminently wise, this is top-class reading for in-betweenies
