A contemporary new series, featuring an appealing new protagonist and her modern family.

Saskia Spark-Lee collects sparkles – shiny rocks, crafting gems, bits of glittery wrapping paper and even dewdrops off the leaves in her garden. Entranced with a classmate's shiny quartz stone, Saskia promises to trade her real diamond for it. The only problem is, she doesn’t have a diamond! But with the advice of her two dads – Da and Dee – and a spangly surprise, Saskia could solve her trading trouble and light the spark of a new friendship.
