A Pocketful of Stars


Overview

Safiya and her mother have never seen eye to eye. Her mother doesn't understand Safiya's love of gaming, and shy Safiya doesn't think she has anything in common with her vibrant, sometimes volatile mother. But when her mother falls into a coma, Safiya's whole world shifts. She finds herself dreaming about an unfamiliar setting and a rebellious girl who's distinctly familiar... As Safiya unlocks the secrets of these dreams the way she would unlock levels in a game, she realizes that opening her heart to the past is the key to changing her future--and that she may not be so different from her mother after all.

Reviews

"""Bushby writes with nuance and skill about a mother-daughter relationship fraught with misunderstanding, and Safiya's eventual realizations are equal parts uplifting and heartbreaking. A poignantly written novel that is hard to put down and even harder to forget."" --starred, Kirkus Reviews -- (7/15/2023 12:00:00 AM)"
