Molly Sullivan said that the new baby was a little star. She was no trouble at all and she was always smiling' so she became known as Star and no one remembered that her name was Oona. Star Sullivan just wanted everyone to be happy - her father to stop gambling, her mother not to work so hard, her brother to stay out of trouble, her sister to stop worrying about every little thing she ate. Then the Hale family moved in next door, and from the moment Star saw 23-year-old Laddy Hale, everything began to change - until Star was no longer the sweet, thoughtful girl everyone loved and no one worried about...

A pleasant enough little story about The Sullivan family and in particular the youngest daughter. This was published especially for World Book Day and as such I think intended more for those amongst us that do not normally enjoy reading. How can that be not us you say! However we all know someone we would like to encourage to read, try this then!
This little book only 106 pages took me one afternoon session to read. It is one of the 'Quick Reads' publications.
The story is also a good introduction to the work of Maeve Binchy, though due to its length much shallower than her novels. I hope 'Quick Reads' will also work as an introduction to authors people may otherwise not try. Maybe also get people keen on reading!

This was a disappointing read. I liked Nights of Rain & Stars, but this was just too shallow. I guess it may be hard to achieve the usual Maeve Binchy standard in such a short book, but everyone I lent the book too felt the same way.

Maeve Binchy on form.If you liked 'Lilac Bus' and 'Evening Class' The main character Star is both irresitable and irritating like most teenagers! Recommended.

Star Sullivan was a very easy read, I read it on the plane to the Canaries. I would recommend this quick read to any female,it is not really a male type of book. This story could be any young person born into a large family and its going ons. A very sweet little story. Pandora.

OK for a short read
Was too short...didn't realise quick read meant very short. (My fault). The quality of Maeve Binchy is always there and she drags you in with the rest of the characters as you... Read more

Another of Maeve Binches lovely short stories. So many characters and so many stories packed into one paperback. What a sad loss.
