Reviews
When Luna Grace's family arrives on Earth from the planet Starbright, she's keen to fit in - but her colour-changing hair and telekinetic powers make her stand out in this charming, colourfully illustrated new 5+ series about self-acceptance and managing emotions.
Fits squarely into the cuddly-alien canon. . . Sykes is an enviably fluent writer, who makes every character convincing.
Delightful and magical! A wonderful story about being proud to be yourself. And I love the colour-changing hair!
With lively illustrations capturing every emotional twist, this story gently encourages kids to celebrate what makes them different
