Description
Twelve-year-old Starling is about to start her first year at school, marking a significant change from her home-schooled upbringing in a unique and unconventional environment. As she navigates the challenges of learning new rules, making friends, and dealing with bullies, she must also contend with intense media attention.
Starling's experiences are shaped by her vegan lifestyle and her close relationship with her best friend Rhuri, who shares similar values. As she learns to balance her individuality with the demands of school life, Starling develops a strong sense of self-awareness and mindfulness, using these tools to cope with the pressures that come her way.
