An astonishingly bold and moving middle-grade debut about family, friendship and how it’s OK to be different.

Libby wants to be a scientist when she grows up, just like her hero, the underrated astronomer Cecilia Payne. She’d also do anything for her family – and when her beloved big sister Nonny is in trouble, Libby comes up with the perfect plan to help her, and at the same time remind the world what stars are made of.
Reviews
I really enjoyed this book as some parts were very capturing. I would definitely recommend to people who love to read about people with disabilities or struggles- it has some low chapters along with many high. However, in this book there were parts were it wasn't as engaging as other books yet it was a great read!

This book is a very interesting book,it is a diary about a girl who has turner syndrome.I like this book because it sends out a message that no matter who you are you are important. I would definitely recommend this book for children aged 9-12. My favourite character is Libby because she is strong, fierce and she can get through anything.

This is a great book about a girl who has a heart 3 times the size than normal and she faces lots of challenges because of this, such as bullying. I really liked the fact that the girl wants to be a scientist as I love science too and she doesn't give up!
