  Looking Up at the Stars 
  Elena’s world is as ordinary as the suburban stars she gazes at every night. But on her eighteenth birthday, an extraordinary event crashes into her backyard—quite literally. A mysterious figure, a wrecked spacecraft, and a web of secrets launch her into an adventure that challenges everything she thought she knew about herself and her universe. 
  As Elena grapples with this otherworldly encounter, she discovers that the stranger from the stars is more than just a visitor. He is a soldier caught in an intergalactic conflict, and his presence on Earth might spell danger not just for her, but for the entire planet. 
  Torn between loyalty to her family, the excitement of an alien connection, and the weight of secrets too big for one girl to carry, Elena must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect her new friend—and the fragile peace of two worlds. 
  Looking Up at the Stars is a heart-stopping blend of science fiction, romance, and thrilling mystery, offering a deeply human story set against the vastness of the cosmos. 
  How far would you go to connect with the stars, even if it meant losing everything you hold dear?
