Stumbling Stars: How One Teen Learned to Rise with the Same Fire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798243994644)

Stumbling Stars is a cinematic, emotional, and dramatic coming-of-age tale for teens aged 10-17. Inspired by Winston Churchill's line, "Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm," the story follows Maya Reyes, a determined 15-year-old with a fierce love for filmmaking. Across eight chapters, Maya's journey through auditions, competitions, friendships, betrayals, and small triumphs reveals how courage, resilience, and the refusal to lose enthusiasm turn repeated setbacks into the quiet architecture of success. Each chapter is a vivid scene-cinematic in scope, intimate in feeling-designed to help teens feel and understand that failure is not the opposite of success but a part of it.
