Seeing Stars is a magical mix of H.E. Bates and Joanna Trollope with a spoonful of J.K Rowling. This is a seductively satisfying women’s fiction with a touch of unexpected magic from the author of Hubble Bubble
Be careful what you wish for . . . When city-girl Amber arrives to spend the summer in a small village, the only stars she recognises are the ones she reads about in her glossy celeb magazines. So, she's stunned to find herself surrounded by neighbours who organise their entire lives around constellation customs and the astral calendar. More scarily, Amber finds that the villagers actually believe that the stars and moon can work magic. Amber remains loudly sceptical, but having grown fond of her new friends - especially the gorgeously enigmatic Lewis - and assuming that it's all a bit of harmless fun, she hurls herself into the star-ceremonies and moon-myths on the grounds that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em and any excuse for a party. But when something totally inexplicable happens as a result of one of Amber's half-hearted celestial incantations, she begins to wonder if maybe, just maybe, there's more to magic than meets the eye . . .

Bates for the 21st Century' Katie Fforde 'Christina is simply THE BEST . . . I don't think she is capable of writing anything which isn't excellent' Reader review
