  A relationship with a mysterious pop star turns a girl’s life upside down in “a great novel about first love . . . a very touching book” (Fresh Fiction). 
   
  These are the things that I’ve always wanted: 
   
  To get the top grades in my class. 
   
  To make my grandmother proud. 
   
  And most of all, proof that I could succeed where the rest of my family had not: a Stanford acceptance letter, early admission. 
   
  My mother and my sister were obsessed with boys and love and sex. So obsessed that they lost sight of their futures, of what they wanted. And in the end, they lost everything. 
   
  I’ll never let a boy distract me. I promised myself that. 
   
  But that was before Tate. 
   
  Before the biggest pop star on the planet took an interest in me. 
   
  Before private planes and secret dates and lyrics meant for me alone. 
   
  There’s so much I don’t know. Like why he left music. Where he goes when we’re not together. What dark past he’s hiding. But when we kiss, the future feels far away. And now . . . I’m not sure what I want. 
   
  “Fun and enjoyable to read . . . Fans of musicians and YA contemporary romance will devour it like I did.” —Buried in a Bookshelf

  When a stranger offers Kim a small fortune to break into a traveling magician’s wagon, she doesn’t hesitate. Having grown up a waif in the dirty streets of London, Kim isn’t above a bit of breaking-and-entering. 
   
  But there is something odd about this magician. He isn’t like the other hucksters and swindlers that Kim is used to. When he catches her in the act, Kim thinks she’s done for—until he suggests she become his apprentice. Kim wonders how tough it could be faking a bit of hocus pocus. 
   
  But Mairelon isn’t an act. His magic is real.

  This illustrated biography of the woman who holds the world record for identifying stars is “an excellent book about a true astronomical pioneer” (Paul Kohlmiller, editor, San Jose Astronomical Association newsletter). This brilliantly illustrated children’s book depicts the achievements of a woman who developed an important system of classifying stars. To this day, Annie Jump Cannon holds the record for identifying more stars than anyone else in the world. In 1925, she became a professor of astronomy at Harvard and the first woman to receive a Doctor of Science degree from Oxford University.  Born during the Civil War, Cannon was determined to pursue a career in astronomy. From her childhood days of studying the constellations with her mother, to her education at Wellesley College and her job in the Harvard Observatory, this biography by a winner of the John Burroughs Nature Writing Award follows Cannon’s inspirational path to success. It notes the challenges the astronomer faced, such as an illness that left her partially deaf and gender discrimination, while capturing her shining moments as she worked to become the “census-taker of the stars.”
