Description

Angel's dad is in jail and her mum's abandoned her and her little brother at their great-grandmother's crumbling farmhouse.

In a dreary and lonely world there is only one bright spot - a mysterious stranger who appears on clear nights to teach Angel all about the stars. BLKatherine Paterson is an internationally acclaimed author who has won the Newbery Medal (twice), the National Book Award for Children's Literature (USA) twice, and the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award
