CONNECT THE STARS

From Saving Lucas Biggs authors Marisa de los Santos and David Teague, comes another heartwarming middle grade adventure about two misfits who discover the importance of just being themselves.

A boy genius searching for a way to feel and an introverted girl fed up with the fakers and liars around her.

When thirteen–year–olds Aaron and Audrey meet at a wilderness camp in the desert, they think their quirks are enough to prevent them from ever having friends. But as they trek through the challenging and unforgiving landscape, they learn that they each have what it takes to make the other whole. And when a fellow camper disappears, Aaron and Audrey face the ultimate test, and learn they just might have what it takes to save her.

Luminous and clever, Connect the Stars is a carefully woven tapestry with Marisa de los Santos’s and David Teague’s trademark beautiful prose, delicate humor, swooping emotions and keen middle grade friendships. This novel takes on the hefty topics of the day – bullying, understanding where you fit in, and learning to live with physical and mental challenges – all in a joyous adventure kids will love!

Marisa de los Santos is the bestselling author of Love Walked In, Belong to Me, and Falling Together. David Teague is a picture book author (Franklin’s Big Dreams) and a professor at the University of Delaware.
