A heart-wrenching, evocative and intimate debut novel from a fresh and hugely talented new voice in children's fiction.Twelve-year-old Mira comes from a chaotic, artistic and outspoken family where it's not always easy to be heard. As her beloved Nana Josie's health declines, Mira begins to discover the secrets of those around her, and also starts to keep some of her own. She is drawn to mysterious Jide, a boy who is clearly hiding a troubled past and has grown hardened layers - like those of an artichoke - around his heart. As Mira is experiencing grief for the first time, she is also discovering the wondrous and often mystical world around her. An incredibly insightful, honest novel exploring the delicate balance, and often injustice, of life and death - but at its heart is a celebration of friendship, culture - and life.

Happy for the first time since leaving her war-torn home, she is devastated when her foster mother announces that a new family has been found for her and she will be moving on. Feeling rejected and abandoned, Aisha packs her bags and runs away, seeking shelter in the nearby woods. Meanwhile, a few doors down, twelve-year-old Zak is trying to cope with his parents' divorce. Living in a near-building site while the new house is being refurbished, he feels unsettled and alone. Discovering a piece of rubble with the original builder's signature set into it, he starts researching the history behind his home - and in doing so finds a connection with a young soldier from the past, which leads him to an old air-raid shelter in the same woods. Both children, previously unknown to each other, meet in the heart of the ancient city woodland as they come into the orbit of Elder, a strange homeless woman who lives amongst the trees - and, as helicopters hover overhead and newspapers fill with pictures of the two lost children, unexpected bonds are formed and lives changed forever . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sita-brahmachari-books\"\u003eSita Brahmachari\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pan Macmillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781447262985\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £1.00","offer_id":47915912593585,"sku":"SB-1447262980-C4","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1447262980.jpg?v=1789151643"},{"product_id":"jasmine-skies","title":"Jasmine Skies","description":"\u003cp\u003eJasmine Skies is the second breathtaking novel from Sita Brahmachari, and the follow-up to Artichoke Hearts.
