- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is very cute and Cozy. It contains 70 pages and is interesting too. The characters are very down-to-earth and sweet. The illustrations are very beautiful and to be honest I read this book because of its amazing cover picture. The story is very heart-touching with a little bit of magic in it.

It would’ve been easier if Mum was here to talk to, Maya thought. But she was in India visiting her sister.
Beyond the taxi window, darkness had turned the city into a sea of lights. It was raining. As the traffic crawled across London Bridge, cars stopped. Started. Stopped again.
Dad spoke to the driver. ‘Reckon we’ll make our train?’
Maya wasn’t really paying attention.
Just before they left the care home, Gran had given Maya and
