Shevah's fantastic book Dream On, Amber is a highly enjoyable story that focuses on the challenges young teenage girls face. Partly based on the author's own life experiences growing up, this heart-warming story is about a half-Italian half-Japanese girl named Amber (or Ambra Alessandra Leola Kimiko Miyamoto in full), who has an extremely complicated and twisted life.

Amber's story takes the reader on a journey through her unpredictable home and school life, her inner-most thoughts and how she copes with one of the most heart-breaking chapters in her life - being abandoned by her father at a young age. She manages to cope with this by creating an imaginary 'dream dad' who she turns to for guidance in times of need.

Dream On, Amber is one of those books that you simply won't want to put down. It is recommended for young teenage girls whose lives are rapidly changing. The book just wouldn't be complete without Helen Crawford-White's unique illustrations which feature on every single one of the 266 pages. They bring the superb narrative to life and make the book visually impressive. With subtle humour included throughout the book, making the reader chuckle to themselves time and time again, this is an emotional story young female readers will want to read over and over again.

Five out of five stars!
