Author: Linda Chapman
Rating: 3/5
Book 11 of 100: (The 100+ Reading Challenge)
Synopsis:
Nine-year-old Lucy is really pleased when Allegra Greenwood moves in next door and the girls quickly become friends. But when Allegra tells her that she is a ‘stardust spirit’, Lucy discovers a whole world of magic beyond even her imagination… As well as the ability to fly, each stardust spirit has their own set of very special powers dictated by their individual star. Very soon, Lucy finds out that not only is her secret identity exciting but also brings responsibility. She has much to learn about stardust and it’s going to be a rollercoaster ride along the way! The first of four books about friendships and family relationships weaving fantasy seamlessly into the every day world.
I do not have much to say about this book apart from the fact that it is quite an interesting fantasy read. Obviously, I got this from the Children’s section just to have something light and quick to rest my eyes on. It’s really nice how the author incorporated the themes of dreams and nature to make the ’star’ of the story, Lucy, a good example to children everywhere.
I did enjoy reading this although I have to say it’ll just be a one-off. I do not think I’d be that keen to look out for the rest of the books in the series.
