From Marissa Burt, author of Storybound, comes a richly imagined middle grade fantasy. Full of magic and mystery, A Sliver of Stardust is the perfect adventure for fans of A Wrinkle in Time or The Emerald Atlas. Wren Matthews thought she’d outgrown nursery rhymes a long time ago. But that was before she knew that songs of twinkling little stars and four-and-twenty blackbirds were the key to an ancient, hidden magic. Wren’s discovery catapults her into a world of buried secrets, strange dreams, and a mountain fortress under an aurora-filled sky. But just as she starts to master her unique abilities, her new world begins to crumble around her . . . and only she can save it. Magic in Nursery Rhymes: Discover a world where the rhymes you grew up with are actually powerful spells, and stardust is the source of an ancient, hidden magic. A Secret Society of Fiddlers: Join Wren as she is initiated into a guild of magical guardians and begins a new apprenticeship to master her strange abilities. Science Meets Fantasy: Perfect for curious readers who love both astronomy and adventure, this story blends logic and magical lore under an aurora-filled sky. An Unlikely Heroine: When this hidden world faces a rising darkness, it’s up to Wren—a girl more comfortable with a telescope than a spellbook—to become the hero no one expected.
