Three months ago, twelve-year-old Alma
moved to the town of Four Points. Her panic attacks started a week later, and
they haven’t stopped—even though she told her parents that they did. Every day
she feels less and less like herself.
Then Alma meets the ShopKeeper in the
town's junk shop, The Fifth Point. The ShopKeeper gives her a telescope and
this message:
Find the Elements.
Grow the Light.
Save the Starling.
That night, Alma watches as a star—a
star that looks like a child—falls from the sky and into her backyard. Alma
knows what it’s like to be lost and afraid, to long for home, and with the help
of some unlikely new friends from the Astronomy Club, she sets out on a quest
that will take a little bit of astronomy, a little bit of alchemy, and her whole
self.
QUINTESSENCE is a stunning story of
friendship, self-discovery, interconnectedness, and the inexplicable elements
that make you you.
