Star of Light

By Patricia St. John

Hamid rubbed the light from his eyes and looked again. He was not dreaming; it was his stepfather!

The man watched Kinza as a snake might watch a baby rabbit at play, waiting for the moment to strike. And for one breathless moment Hamid was sure that he would reach out and snatch her away. Hamid does not want his little blind sister, Kinza, to be sold to a beggar by their stepfather, so he decides to rescue her. Together they escape from their mountain village to a town where there may be a new home for Kinza. But this is only the start of their adventures.

Will Kinza be safe? What will happen to Hamid, who dares not go back home? Set in North Africa, readers will be delighted by yet another of Patricia St. John's exciting, freshly edited novels.

Reviews for Star of Light

[daniel_kirk-1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A great story for children and adults of all ages. Shows the reality of life in other countries, the effects of poverty and the difference that Jesus can make. Not only in the lifes of a poor goat herder but in that of a spoilt rich English girl. A heart rending story that had me blinking away tears at points.
