I highly recommend this book for child and adult alike. I was as absorbed by it as my children. It is a clear picture of the workings of God's spirit and his love and mercies for all.

Star of light is a wonderful book about the journeys and adventures of four characters; Hamid, Kinza, (Hamid's younger sister), Jenny - a girl from England, and Rosemary - an English nurse who moved to Morocco to help the people there. The story really takes off when Hamid's father makes a deal to sell Kinza to a mean beggar who will use her to beg. Hamid's mother tells him to escape with Kinza to the nurse's home.
The writer uses a lot of descriptive words and once you start reading you will find it hard to stop. I thought it was a good story because it teaches the reader something, as well. I give it five stars.

This is the story of a father-less boy named Hamid, who went on a journey to save his little, blind sister from danger and a life of sorrow, darkness, and unhappiness. As Hamid embarks on this journey, the outcome is a life of freedom, the joy of seeing his sister happy and unharmed, and the Everlasting Love of God. The author shows her knowledge of God and preaches through a kind nurse who gives shelter to poor African children (and adults!). This book makes you think of the misfortune of others, and to see the little things in life that bring great joy. I would recomend this book no matter what.

Star of Light was one of those books that you can't put down until the end. Sometimes you can predict what will happen but most of the time you will be surprised. This story is about a happy family who lives in North Africa, but after the father dies the mother gets re-married to a mean guy. They find out their littlest baby girl, Kinza, is blind so the mean stepfather says she is no good and they will have to sell her to the old beggar man in town. The mother is very upset so she tells her oldest son Hammid to run away with the baby. They have to carefully find their way to a kind missionary's house while the evil stepfather is after them.

This book will give you an idea of life in the streets, in a missionary's home, and as a blind girl in long ago times. The ending is happy, but not so happy that you think, "well that was totally unrealistic." I think the author is very talented and kids of all ages will enjoy this book, whether it is read aloud to them or they read it themselves. Boys and girls will like it equally because there are two main characters, one's a boy and one's a girl.

If you want to find out more READ THE BOOK!

This book is exciting and will catch your attention. It also shows a common boy showing true love to his sister, by risking his life for hers.
