Days of Wonder
Days of Wonder | KEITH. STUART
2 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
Days of Wonder is the stunning follow-up to Keith Stuart's much-loved debut A Boy Made of Blocks - and a book to fall in love with. Tom, single father to Hannah, is the manager of a tiny local theatre. On the same day each year, he and its colourful cast of part-time actors have staged a fantastical production just for his little girl, a moment of magic to make her childhood unforgettable. But there is another reason behind these annual shows: the very first production followed Hannah's diagnosis with a heart condition that both of them know will end her life early. And now, with Hannah a funny, tough girl of fifteen, that time is coming. Hannah's heart is literally broken - and she can't bear the idea of her dad's breaking too. So Hannah resolves to find a partner for Tom, someone else to love, to fill the space beside him. While all the time Tom plans a final day of magic that might just save them both. A story about growing up, the beauty of a special bond between father and daughter, and finding magic in everyday life, Days of Wonder is the most moving novel you'll read all year.

If I told you this was a book about a teen with a chronic heart condition, you might think "Well, that sounds depressing". I can't tell you how wrong you would be. Told with such love of characters, and for the intense bonds of family and friendship between them all, you get totally immersed in the story of Hannah, her dad and the Willow Tree Theatre. Magical. Beautiful. Emotional. I wish we all had a Margaret in our lives.
