From a girl whose mother is a thief to a soldier's daughter counting the days until her dad comes home, Kate Maryon writes with warmth and real emotional depth. Perfect for readers ages 9-14 (grades 4-9), this collection makes a thoughtful birthday gift or addition to any classroom library.

About the Books
Kate Maryon writes contemporary fiction that speaks honestly to young readers navigating big feelings and big changes. Across these five novels, she turns her attention to five different girls, each facing a challenge that feels real. In Shine, twelve-year-old Tiff must confront the truth about her mother, Carla, and is sent to live with a family she has never met on the island of Sark. Glitter follows Liberty Parfitt, a wealthy girl whose comfortable world crumbles when her father loses his job, forcing her to decide what matters more than money. A Million Angels introduces Jemima, whose father is deployed to Afghanistan just as her mother is about to have a new baby, leaving Jemima to quietly carry worries no one notices. A Sea of Stars brings together Maya, who lives a relaxed seaside life in Cornwall, and another girl from a very different background, in a story about how friendship bridges even the widest gaps. The Invisible Girl follows Gabriella Midwinter, who once had a home and a family, and who runs away in search of her brother, Beckett, after everything she knew falls apart. Each book stands on its own, but together they showcase Kate Maryon's gift for writing girls who feel like real friends: funny, flawed, brave, and easy to root for. Told in warm, accessible prose, these stories tackle family upheaval, financial hardship, and running away, without losing their sense of hope, making this a rewarding read for confident tweens and reluctant readers alike.
