FROM THE WINNER OF THE YOTO CARNEGIE MEDAL 2022
We are her world and her universe and her space and her stars and her sky and her galaxy and her cosmos too.
Frank is ten. He likes cottage pie and football and cracking codes. Max is five. He eats only Quavers and some colours are too bright for him and if he has to wear a new T-shirt he melts down down down.
Sometimes Frank wishes Mum could still do huge paintings of stars and asteroids like she used to, but since Max was born she just doesn’t have time.
When tragedy hits Frank and Max’s lives like a comet, can Frank piece together a universe in which he and Max aren’t light years apart?
This jaw-dropping, heartbreaking and hopeful novel from Katya Balen will remind you we are all made of stardust. For fans of thought-provoking, moving middle grade from Wonder to Skellig.

love and kindness
What a profound and poignant and heartwarming story. Every emotion is explored and we see how the two boys and their father deal with heartache and sorrow and, come out the other side. Max has special needs and he has to learn how to cope with life around him and in turn his brother learns to understand him and, they learn to become brothers. so much to learn from this story about friendship and relationships and love and sorry and happiness.
