The Girl with Space in Her Heart

by Lara Williamson

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.

Look I understand that Topaz is just a twelve-year-old kid and she has some issues at school, being bullied and having no friends and all that but I really could not stand her. Also, I'm wondering how old Mabel was cuz like I know she's younger than Topaz (who's twelve), but she felt like the older one?! I didn't like the main plot of this book, I was more interested in the spacey stuff and I do appreciate the whole mental health aspect of this book. But Topaz being convinced Gavin is cheating on their mum and ruining a nice day out by telling their mum just like that was really dumb and really brought the book down for me. I knew halfway through that the blonde woman was his sister and Carina was his mother and instead of the adults just normally talking about this all... Pff honestly this book gave me another point on the 'I never want children' list. I mean sure you could say 'they're kids they don't know any better', but still it annoyed me so much.
