You will also learn about such fascinating objects as nebulas, black holes, pulsars, and the incredible quasars, each of which gives off more than a hundred times the energy of all the stars in the Milky Way put together.Stars will introduce young readers to some of the most amazing mysteries in the universe.

Time alters everything. After a summer spent coping with the tragedy of her spring, Elisabeth Buchanan is determined to enjoy her senior year at Cobblestone Academy. It doesn’t matter that she has a maybe boyfriend who seems to have vanished or an impossible crush on a man who barely acknowledges her. As a powerful witch, whose magic keeps growing in strength, she’s bound to face some obstacles along the way. And those obstacles keep coming. With her former zombie mother returned, and a huge test awaiting her, one that will determine whether she graduates or not, Elisabeth feels like her to-do list is growing longer and longer. Things only get more complicated when her former suitor, Brendan O’Reilly arrives back at school, bringing with him a revelation that upends her world. While the school year flies by, Elisabeth focuses on honing her magic and having fun with her friends. But some problems can’t be ignored. Decisions need to be made, choices between those that hold her future and those that want her heart. Spells are cast, hands are dealt, as graduation looms and war, not college, await her.
