Why read it?
1 author picked Rules for Stealing Stars as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Haydu’s voice in Rules for Stealing Stars feels incredibly authentic to the middle-grade age group. The main character, Silly, walks a fine line between being childish enough to believe in magic, and old enough to begin to question her deeply dysfunctional family situation.

Haydu expertly weaves together this child-like voice and fantastical story with underlying themes of trauma and dysfunction to create a whimsical, yet meaningful story.
From Fiadhnait's list on with an air of whimsy.
