But Clancy is increasingly convinced that her grandmother is also on the journey with her mysterious signs...
The young adult novel January Stars reveals the story of a family that has lost touch with each other. The members of an otherwise large family live separately and rarely meet after the death of their grandmother. After a strange kidnapping, orchestrated by Clancy and Tash, they are forced to face themselves, and a host of family problems are described in a very charming and humorous way. Despite the lighter tone, the novel opens up many food for thought - caring for the elderly after a serious illness, a stroke and its consequences, the alienation of family members, the relationship with grandparents, and above all, the dynamics of two sisters, one quiet and reserved, and the other determined and loud, are at the forefront. How to coexist in this colorful group of diverse people? (summarized from the general page of Miš Publishing House)
