<p>From Marissa Burt, author of <em>Storybound, </em>comes a richly imagined middle grade fantasy loosely inspired by the rhymes of Mother Goose. Full of magic and mystery, <em>A Sliver of Stardust </em>is the perfect adventure for fans of <em>A Wrinkle in Time </em>or <em>The Emerald Atlas.</em></p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p>
