Review

How To Lose A Rockstar is about friendship and everything that gets in the way of being honest when you’re navigating life’s unfair traumas and fragile hopes.
If that sounds heavy, it’s not. This is storytelling at its best with humour and emotions beautifully balanced. Two teens, Sonia (Kiwi) and Tressa (Irish) meet online but when Tressa visits New Zealand and meets Sonia in person, Tressa’s big secret threatens to destroy everything. 
Add to the plot a couple of irritating brothers, a large cast of family, neighbours and band members and you’ve got a story with enough of the ordinary AND the incredible to really make it zing. I loved it!

Caleb’s safe world begins to crumble when he starts to hear voices that no one else can hear. His mother disappeared after she heard the voices. Will this happen to him too? How can he protect his family? The answers challenge everything he thought he knew and change his future on the planet forever. 

 

Star Light begins the story of the Fraser family caught between worlds, hunted by aliens, and holding the key to the survival of Earth.



Review


The first in a series, Star Light captured me early as I empathised at Caleb’s life. Intrigued at his family dynamics, I wanted to know why his father was hiding them? Who were the voices he heard, and what happened to his mum? Caleb is a likeable character. He’s had to grow up fast with so much responsibility on his shoulders but with his father’s wrath a constant, he trudges through each day.

The sibling dynamics are funny and a sudden change in control on the farm is maddening but riveting at the same time. I flew through the 2nd half of the book and am keen to get my hands on the next in the series – Star Bright – told in Rachel’s point of view.

Great read and I love this cover! When placed in a sea of books on a bookshop shelf, this cover stands out.
