Books Included in This Collection:
Shine
Twelve-year-old Tiff loves her glamorous mum, Carla, who brings home shiny new things. Yet Carla’s habit isn’t buying—it's stealing. Shine follows Tiff as she balances loyalty to her mum with the pull of doing the right thing, exploring family bonds, moral choices, and the courage it takes to stand up for what matters most. Maryon’s portrayal of a girl learning to navigate complicated love and loyalty is heartfelt, grounded, and thought-provoking for readers who crave realism with warmth.

Glitter
Liberty Parfitt longs for a future where music can be her compass. When her super‑rich, workaholic dad loses his job and sinks into depression, Liberty discovers that her musical gift may be the family’s anchor. The story blends passion, perseverance, and family duty, showing how creativity can illuminate hope even in difficult times. Glitter captures the tension between ambition and responsibility with a compassionate, accessible voice that will resonate with aspiring artists and dreamers alike.

A Million Angels
Jemima’s dad is in the Army, heading to Afghanistan for six months, while her mum awaits a new baby and tries to keep life steady. Gran’s wartime memories cast a glow of resilience over the household, and Jemima sends guardian angels to keep her dad safe. The narrative tenderly portrays the ache of separation, the comfort of family rituals, and the strength it takes to stay hopeful. A Million Angels blends tenderness with grit in a story about courage, connection, and family faith.

The Invisible Girl
Gabriella Midwinter once had a home, and she wasn’t invisible. Now she’s navigating a world where she feels unseen as she searches for belonging. This poignant tale traces a young girl’s journey toward recognition, friendship, and self-acceptance, with Maryon’s characteristic warmth and clarity. The Invisible Girl invites readers to consider what it means to be seen—and to discover the quiet power of stepping into the light with honesty and courage.

A Sea of Stars
Meet Maya, whose Cornwall coastal life with a slightly bohemian mum and dad shadows a larger question: where do two friends from different worlds fit in?
