Publisher Description
Winner of the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize, Artichoke Hearts by Sita Brahmachari is an incredibly insightful, honest novel exploring the delicate balance, and often injustice, of life and death - but at its heart is a celebration of friendship, culture, and life.
Twelve-year-old Mira comes from a chaotic, artistic and outspoken family where it’s not always easy to be heard. As her beloved Nana Josie's health declines, Mira begins to discover the secrets of those around her, and also starts to keep some of her own. She is drawn to mysterious Jide, a boy who is clearly hiding a troubled past and has grown hardened layers - like those of an artichoke – around his heart. As Mira is experiencing grief for the first time, she is also discovering the wondrous and often mystical world around her.

READ IT!!!
This book is so good it covers real life issues and gets emotions across very well I love the book so much and even better I got it for free! Because at school the teachers were giving yr7 (me and my friends) the chance to chose a free book and I chose this one and I'm so glad I did!!!
I LOVE THIS BOOK
this is an amazing read which tells a very emotional story the author has made the story seem real and it is as though the characters and the story leap out of the book and into the real world
