Being at home is hard for Hannah. With mum, dad and Vix always fighting they've got no time for her or her worries, she might as well be invisible. But when she finds an abandoned diary in the park containing snippets and photographs of the colourful life of the mysterious Sami Star, Hannah hopes she's found the real friend she always needed. Little does she know Sami really needs her too.
A heart-warming story of finding friendship in the most unlikely of places.
