Exciting, funny, moving - and featuring joyous and authentic
disabled representation - Cosima Unfortunate Steals a Star is the
middle-grade debut of 2023. Cosima Unfortunate has spent all her
life at the Home for Unfortunate Girls - a school where any
disabled children, or children deemed different, are sent, whether
their families want it or not. It is there that she meets her
friends - Pearl, Mary and Diya - and they start to practise mini
heists involving the theft of cakes, biscuits and other sweet
goodies. But when Cos finds out that Lord Francis Fitzroy, the
explorer behind the Empire Exhibition, is planning to adopt them,
she and her friends plot the biggest heist of their life. Instead
of fondant fancies, they're going to steal Fitzroy's prized tiara,
containing the legendary Star Diamond of India! But, as they start
preparing for the day, Cosima finds herself drawing ever closer to
discovering the one secret she's always wanted to know - the truth
about her parents...
