Piper's hero is an astronaut, astronomer, and television host. Piper
lives by Nellie Dumont Frisse's motto "Shine on!". However, Piper feels
that there are two types of people: those who are born to shine and
those who don't. She believes she falls into the latter category. When
her dad gets a new job at the elite Chumley Prep, Piper is reminded that
everyone is good at something and she isn't. Will Piper be able to find
something she can excel in?
The book was a
heartwarming read and filled with teachable moments. While the book was a
bit predictable, it allowed readers to join a young girl on her journey
on learning what type of person she wants to be. The book is packed
with valuable lessons for children (and adults!) of all ages!

"Inspirational,
commonsensical, and a whole lot of fun." --James Patterson
Everyone deserves to shine in this sparkling new book from the New York Times bestselling author of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library , Chris Grabenstein, and coauthor J.J. Grabenstein--just right for fans of Word of Mouse and The Fourteenth Goldfish.
"Who do you want to be?" asks Mr. Van Deusen. "And not when you grow up. Right here, right now."
Shine on! might be the catchphrase of twelve-year-old Piper's hero--astronaut, astronomer, and television host Nellie Dumont Frisse--but Piper knows the truth: some people are born to shine, and she's just not one of them. That fact has never been clearer than now, since her dad's new job has landed them both at Chumley Prep, a posh private school where everyone seems to be the best at something and where Piper definitely doesn't fit in.
Bursting with humor, heart, science, possibilities, and big questions, Shine! is a story about finding your place in the universe--a story about figuring out who you are and who you want to be.
