A Galaxy of Sea Stars
(eBook)
Description
A Galaxy of Sea Stars is Jeanne Zulick Ferruolo's second middle-grade novel-a heartwarming story about family, loyalty, and the hard choices we face in the name of friendship. Sometimes, the truth isn't easy to see. Sometimes, you have to look below the surface to find it. Eleven-year-old Izzy feels as though her whole world is shifting, and she doesn't like it. She wants her dad to act like he did before he was deployed to Afghanistan. She wants her mom to live with them at the marina where they've moved instead of spending all her time on Block Island. Most of all, she wants Piper, Zelda, and herself-the Sea Stars-to stay best friends, as they start sixth grade in a new school. Everything changes when Izzy's father invites his former interpreter's family, including eleven-year-old Sitara, to move into the marina's upstairs apartment. Izzy doesn't know what to make of Sitara-with her hijab and refusal to eat cafeteria food-and her presence disrupts the Sea Stars. But in Sitara Izzy finds someone brave, someone daring, someone who isn't as afraid as Izzy is to use her voice and speak up for herself. As Izzy and Sitara grow closer, Izzy must make a choice: stay in her comfort zone and risk betraying her new friend, or speak up and lose the Sea Stars forever.
