Ora and The Star Thief: The Sky That Remembered
Ages 8-12
Book Two of the Sunbird Trilogy · Middle grade fantasy adventure · Ages 8–12
The stars are going out. Not stolen!
On the forty-third night after her grandmother's death, twelve-year-old Zara watches an ordinary star simply stop being there. She marks it on her chart. In the weeks that follow she fills the chart with circles, and tells no one, because of the thing her grandmother said to her three days before she died.
Something very old is taking the sky back. It calls itself Ilua. It placed the stars as a gift for the people below, a thousand generations ago — and it has spent every one of those generations counting who used the gift and who forgot. The ones who forgot now outnumber the ones who remember.
Ilua is not cruel. Ilua is not lying. That's the problem.
Great for ages 8–12 · independent readers · family read-alouds · classroom units on astronomy, navigation, and how different traditions solve the same problem · stargazers and space-obsessed kids · readers who finished Book One and want the next one now · myth-driven quests · and stories where the antagonist has a point
