Atichoke Hearts by Sira Brahmachari

This eye-catching book is about a typical twelve-year-old girl named Mira, a quiet, shy girl and she loves one person more than anything, and who plays a massive role in her life - her artistic Grandma ('Nana Josie') who sadly is dying. Although Nana Josie is not the only one who plays a big role in Mira's life, Mira has a crush on her fellow classmate Jide Jackson, who clearly comes from a sad background, this draws Mira in. As time goes by she begins to realise that Mira has secrets of her own, she is on the edge of becoming a woman and she is drifting away from her best friend. How will she react to all this madness?

  11. Sounds like Mira has a very strong relationship with the other main characters in the book. The character clearly has a lot to cope with emotionally, her Nana dying and drifting away from her best friend. With a rating of 9/10, I'm guessing the author dealt with this in a very sensitive way. Well written. SG
