"Artichoke Hearts" by Sita Brahmachari, winner of the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize, is an exceptionally insightful and honest novel that explores the delicate balance and often unjust aspects of life and death, but at its heart, it celebrates friendship, culture, and life.
Twelve-year-old Mira comes from a chaotic, artistic, and expressive family, where it is not always easy to be heard. As her beloved grandmother, Josie, experiences a decline in her health, Mira begins to discover the secrets of those around her as well as some of her own. She comes into contact with the mysterious Jide, a boy who seemingly hides a troubled past and has developed hard layers – like those of an artichoke – around his heart. While Mira experiences grief for the first time, she also discovers the wonderful and often mystical world around her.
