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.

A cute reimagining of what nursery rhymes could be all about. It's possible that there is something nefarious behind them. Wren may or may not be a grown up in a child's adventure; it's hard to tell the age of her mind. The dust theme isn't as metaphysical as in His Dark Materials, but there is complexity about the mixed ethics of "doing research". I personally was more entertained by Storybound and Story's End. I suspect that this book series is compared to works of Madeleine L’Engle because of its serious tone, but for me, it's more like Chris Colfer minus the humor.

Pleasant adventure
