Meet authors Shana Muldoon Zappa and Ahmet Zappa and see their charming middle grade series, Star Darlings! Welcome to Starling Academy. Twelve very special students have been selected from this year's class to reclaim the wish energy that powers their beloved planet, Starland. The Star Darlings, as they are known, take classes where they learn how to grant the wishes made on birthday candles, shooting stars, dandelions, wishbones, and coins tossed into fountains, just to name a few. Their top-secret mission will take them to Wishworld (known in some places as Earth). In Sage and the Journey to Wishworld, travel with her as she discovers how challenging life on a new planet can be and learns the importance of friendship, teamwork, and never assuming anything. In Libby and the Class Election, people pleaser Libby goes down to Wishworld, and exhausts herself, thinking she has to help grant all the wishes. Libby's friends come down to help her learn how to say no, stand up for herself, and feel more confident about her choices. Ages 8 to 12. FREE
