Nova Rocks: Star Sisterz, #1 - Softcover

Tea Emesse lives on the Oregon coast. This is her first novel for Mirrorstone™ Books.

Grade 4-6–Nova Darling, 14, is facing a summer full of dance classes. Unfortunately, she no longer cares about ballet, but she doesn't want to disappoint her mother. Nova's secret passion is an old guitar that she bought at a sale. One day a message appears on the ATM machine she is using. It says Act like a rock star in front of a group of strangers. She continues her ballet lessons and also signs up to be a library volunteer. She encounters a grumpy supervisor, a perky children's librarian, and a new librarian named Blue Anderson. There is also a good-looking volunteer, Joe, whom she would really like to impress, but he thinks of her as a little kid. By the predictable end, Nova is feeling more confident and empowered and is able to tell her mother her true feelings about ballet and the guitar. And, as it turns out, Joe also plays the guitar. This story is told with a lot of humor and teen angst. This series is a tie-in to a charm game developed by Wizards of the Coast, Inc. and is most likely to appeal to girls who are playing the game.–Elaine Lesh Morgan, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR
