Critic reviews
"Full of adventure, warmth and rich historical detail." (Natasha Hastings)
"By stars, I loved this book. Cosima Unfortunate Steals a Star is a rompy historical heist with a cast of furiously brilliant and disabled kids, alongside solving the mystery of who Cosima’s family are. Full of fun and memorable characters but also shines light on the way history has treated disabled children." (Lizzie Huxley-Jones, author of Vivi Conway and the Sword of Legend)
