Books with title Shooting at the Stars

Meet Josephine Foster, or Zo Jo as she’s called in the biz. The best pint-sized photographer of them all, Jo doesn’t mind doing what it takes to get that perfect shot, until she’s sent on an undercover assignment to shoot Ned Hartnett—teen superstar and the only celebrity who’s ever been kind to her—at an exclusive rehabilitation retreat in Boston. The money will be enough to pay for Jo’s dream: real photography classes, and maybe even quitting her paparazzi gig for good. Everyone wants to know what Ned’s in for. But Jo certainly doesn’t know what she’s in for: falling in love with Ned was never supposed to be part of her assignment.

Spiro is a carefree and fun-loving shooting star. He is given an assignment by his teacher Mr. Zoots to find a sad human or animal on Earth and to be its constant companion until it is no longer sad. Only when he has accomplished this can he return home. And, this is very important, he is not to solve its problems for it; he is to guide it in solving its own problems. He is taken to the home of a little girl, Abbey, who is going through a traumatic time in her life due to the separation of her parents and her move with her mother to another town. She feels very alone; but, with Spyro's help, Abbey is able to turn her loneliness into happiness.

A grandmother who loves reading in the comfort of her garden and loves to create stories and poetry for her grandchildren. It's all about the beauty of our planet Earth and all of the fascinating creatures. Shooting Stars are the most enchanting creation that we can use in our story. Cousin Zion and Isla, the main characters, love to play outside and learn to appreciate our magnificent planet Earth. They also share their love for poetry and other children's rhymes. My goal here is to motivate the children to go out and explore nature, while at the same time creating new outdoor games. It is also important to spend quality time with parents, friends and even neighbors. The interaction of playing outside, has emphasis on their social, physical and mental skills. These are the valuable skills I learned during my time growing up from the 50's generation. My generation didn't have the powerful tools in technology and only taught us that our toys need to be fixed and not to be thrown away. The iPad, iPhone, etc. have great advantages and disadvantages, their impact on learning, discovering and exploring are basically presented in a small tablet. I observed that my grandchildren are limiting their space, energy and interaction with real humans by chatting and playing online games in the confine of their bedroom/ living room. This book will also inspire the children to write poetry, children's rhymes and once again enjoy the outdoor playground. Aida G.
