Be blown away by Patrice Lawrence’s trade-mark brilliance in ‘PEOPLE like STARS’ - a fictional middle-grade true crime mystery with its oh so clever plot twists and turns, chaotic struggles with loyalty and justice, many clandestine trips to the library to research records, and the inter-changing narrators enabling readers to deep-dive into each character’s identity and inner struggles.

Ian Eagleton’s deeply personal connection to the subject matter, including his own diagnosis of OCD as a youth adds an extra layer of authenticity. This is a gripping tale that masterfully blends the real and the supernatural, offering readers both an exciting ghost story and a powerful exploration of mental health, friendship, and resilience.

A gripping and intense story of two worlds, one where grief, bullying and neglect exist and another where beauty, someone loved (but lost) lives, and where there is peace, safety and control... ‘the best prisons…are the ones in which you think you’re free. How do you escape a trap you don’t realise you’re in?’
