A Legend of Starfire
The rhymes of Mother Goose meet A Wrinkle in Time in this sequel to A Sliver of Stardust, in which Wren must save our world by going to a place she’s only dreamed of: the Land of Nod.
The Land of Nod used to be just a name in a nursery rhyme to Wren. But when she discovered the secret magic of stardust, she learned that some of those rhymes had their own secrets — and the Land of Nod is real.
A few months ago, the evil Magician Boggen attempted to escape his exile on Nod and return to Earth. Wren stopped him, but Boggen is still alive and his corrupted magic is spreading. To save her home, Wren will travel farther than even she could have dreamed: to the heart of Nod itself, where she must defeat Boggen once and for all.
Since her debut novel Storybound, which ALA Booklist praised for its “richly imagined world,” Marissa Burt has delivered complex, fantastic adventures full of creative fairy-tale elements. Fans of A Wrinkle in Time and The Emerald Atlas will want to dive headfirst into the world of A Legend of Starfire, which is even more epic and magical — with a dash of science and a captivating steampunk flair.
