⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
This MG novel is about two cousins, Isa and Coral, who grow up together on the same island and consider themselves sisters. When Coral and her parents don’t return from their sailing trip in the Indonesian Islands, Issa just knows with all her heart that Coral is still alive.
Coral, unfortunately, finds herself alone on a deserted island and must find many ways to survive.
I love survival stories and Coral has a lot of surviving to do, but this is a dual POV story that switches between Coral and her cousin and has a very tight-knit and almost magically connected relationship between the two ‘star sisters’ so there is always a general sense of hope throughout the story.
I enjoyed it very much.
