Star Daughter

*Chosen as a 2020 Kids'' Indie Next pick * A Locus Reading List recommendation * An Andre Norton Nebula Award Finalist* "Shveta Thakrar''s prose is as beautiful as starlight."-- New York Times bestselling author Holly Black This gorgeously imagined YA debut blends shades of Neil Gaiman''s Stardust and a breathtaking landscape of Hindu mythology into a radiant contemporary fantasy. The daughter of a star and a mortal, Sheetal is used to keeping secrets. 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. A star like her mother, who returned to the sky long ago. 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. Brimming with celestial intrigue, this sparkling YA debut is perfect for fans of Roshani Chokshi and Laini Taylor.
