You can design your own outfits for the Star Darlings! Stellar fashion, quizzes, and hints and tips for color combinations will help you create amazing looks for Sage, Libby and Leona.

There are lots of strange things going on at Starling Academy these days: Leona is devastated about her Wish Pendant failure. Ophelia, the newest Star Darling, is completely clueless. Vega''s roommate, Piper, is getting on her last nerve. And Scarlet? Who knows? She''s nowhere to be found! So when by-the-book Vega gets sent to Wishworld on the next mission, she finds herself very distracted. Why is her Wisher so secretive? Vega needs to solve this puzzle fast. Time is running out and Starland needs every drop of wish energy it can get!

"Leona is very focused on her studies and is especially busy as the lead vocalist in the Star Darlings band. Star-Zaps start buzzing, and the girls know it''s probably time for one of them to head to Wishworld. Wish-Granter. But she''ll have to challenge herself to put her own desires aside and truly understand what her Wisher needs--before her Countdown Clock runs out of time"--Page 4 of cover.

Whimsical monster characters bring the silly and sweet scenes to life and keep the book universal. The book''s ending, a moving tribute to the author''s father, guarantees intergenerational appeal. Because I''m your dad, I will do all of these things for you and more . . . because that''s what my dad did for me.

"Jason and Jesse went to a high school where the rich preppies and the blue-collar factory kids circled each other, like wolves from rival packs. They called Jason the Freak, he never belonged to any cool crowds. His big brother Jesse was always his protector. When they murdered Jesse, it was the biggest mistake this town would ever make. Out of Jason''s rage came the darkness he had always feared, his dead brother Jesse bursting from his ripping flesh, the brothers merging to form one savage monster. Now there''s Hell to pay."--cover.
