When Stars Are Bright (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781948668392)

WHEN STARS ARE BRIGHT is a historical Thumbelina retelling with a touch of magic.

For Lina Holt, a Dutch seventeen-year-old with a flair for singing, 1930 is going to be her year. Her long-time boyfriend is about to propose and her mother will finally realize their relationship isn't a passing phase. But when a stranger snatches her from her backyard, everything changes.

Lina is thrust into the spotlight of a New York vaudeville show where she's paired with Nik, a mysterious pianist. The two bond during rehearsals and it doesn't take long before Nik puts himself at risk to confess a hidden truth. Without Lina, the show is in its last season and there's no way she'll be allowed to slip through the owner's fingers. Not when she carries fairy magic in her blood--an gift that turns her song into a dangerously addictive drug.

If Lina ever wants to return home, she must learn who to trust before she's forced to remain a prisoner on stage forever.
