Books like Angel Cake by Cathy Cassidy
Anya, a young Polish immigrant, longs for the warm summer skies she left behind in her hope for a new life in Britain. Arriving in a school that feels alien, she struggles to connect with classmates who don’t share her background.
Her loneliness is eased when she meets Dan, a boy with a reputation for mischief and a reputation that masks a softer side. Though their relationship starts off rocky, Anya finds comfort in the unexpected companionship and begins to feel that the promise of a new life may actually be within reach.
As tensions rise and her friendship with Dan deepens, Anya learns that belonging isn’t solely about fitting in—it’s also about finding people who understand and support you, no matter where you come from.
