This enchanting story about magic, family, and the meaning of home from the award-winning author of Where the WatermelonsGrow is perfect for fans of Corey Ann Haydu and Natalie Lloyd. Ivy Mae Bloom is almost thirteen years old, her name is almost a complete sentence, and her family' s RV is almost a home. That' s one too many "almosts" for Ivy. She desperately wants a place to put down roots, but it' s her mama' s job as a fallen star to tend the magic underpinning the world-a job that' s kept Ivy' s family living on the road since before Ivy was born. After Ivy steals Mama' s entire supply of wish jars in the hopes of finding a place to call home, disaster strands her family in Whistling Ridge, North Carolina, with Mama' s star sisters. Ivy falls for Whistling Ridge immediately-she just needs to convince her parents to stay. But something is draining the magic from the town, and the star sisters can' t pinpoint it. Ivy and her new friends find a clue in Whistling Ridge' s history that might explain the mysterious threat. . . but if Whistling Ridge' s magic is fixed, Mama will need to move on. Ivy is faced with an impossible decision: How can she help the star sisters lift the curse if it means losing her best chance at a forever home
"Delightfully voice-y and atmospheric, The Stars of Whistling Ridge is a gentle and magical story about family and the true meaning of home. " -- Jasmine Warga, Newbery Honor-winning author of Other Words for Home "Detailed and evocative. " -- Kirkus Reviews
