![]() I must admit, I was a wee bit leery of the whole “stars as people” concept, mostly because I had a hard time wrapping my head around it, in theory. This gorgeously imagined YA debut blends shades of Neil Gaiman's Stardust and a breathtaking landscape of Hindu mythology into a radiant contemporary fantasy. Sheetal's quest to save her father will take her to a celestial court of shining wonders and dark shadows, where she must take the stage as her family's champion in a competition to decide the next ruling house of the heavens-and win, or risk never returning to Earth at all. A star like her mother, who returned to the sky long ago. Pretending to be "normal." But when an accidental flare of her starfire puts her human father in the hospital, Sheetal needs a full star's help to heal him. The daughter of a star and a mortal, Sheetal is used to keeping secrets.
