North of Supernova

★ When Stella's world is shaken up by her father's surprise engagement, she takes fate into her own hands with astrology, tarot, and crystals in this irresistible, heartfelt middle grade novel ★

Stella North (Virgo) has waited her whole life for a coveted birthday party invite that will guarantee a friend-filled summer in Washington. Forget summer, this opportunity could change her universe. Maybe in this universe, she'll have less anxiety about big things, like the growing absence of her addict mom, and small things, like what everyone else is thinking or what she's wearing or or or... breathe.

But those perfect summer plans implode when her Dad returns with a surprise from his business trip: his new fiancée, Whitney. Even worse, Stella and her brother have to spend the next couple of weeks in Whitney's Las Vegas home pretending like these absolute strangers are her family. At least her potential stepsister feels the same way about ruining their parents' wedding. Together, the girls set out to discover (and ultimately change) the future through astrology, crystals, and even Magic 8 Balls. Yet nothing can predict the surprising friends, new maybe-more-than friends, and ghosts from the past that Stella encounters on her quest to find calm in a galaxy beyond control.
