A resonant story of two friends trying to maintain their relationship from afar with dazzling results, filled with wishes, curiosity, and bravery. From award-winning author-illustrator Julia Denos.
She was made of blood and bones, and he was made of space and stars. Back in a time when there were still students of the stars, there were two friends, Acamar and Eridani.
Eridani was a star pupil studying the night skies, and Acamar . . . well, he was made of the stuff she studied.
In a star-crossed twist of fate, these long-distance friends find they've wished themselves into unexpected new worlds.
Filled with stardust and moonglow, this cosmic adventure shows us how even the most brilliant wishes can have a mind of their own-and that true friendship can endure, despite time and space.
