★ When Stella's world is shaken up by her father's surprise engagement, she takes fate into her own hands with astrology, tarot, and crystals in this irresistible, heartfelt middle grade novel ★
Stella North (Virgo) has waited her whole life for a coveted birthday party invite that will guarantee a friend-filled summer in Washington. Forget summer, this opportunity could change her universe. Maybe in this universe, she'll have less anxiety about big things, like the growing absence of her addict mom, and small things, like what everyone else is thinking or what she's wearing or or or... breathe.
But those perfect summer plans implode when her Dad returns with a surprise from his business trip: his new fiancée, Whitney. Even worse, Stella and her brother have to spend the next couple of weeks in Whitney's Las Vegas home pretending like these absolute strangers are her family. At least her potential stepsister feels the same way about ruining their parents' wedding. Together, the girls set out to discover (and ultimately change) the future through astrology, crystals, and even Magic 8 Balls. Yet nothing can predict the surprising friends, new maybe-more-than friends, and ghosts from the past that Stella encounters on her quest to find calm in a galaxy beyond control.

      A Tacoma, Washington, girl with anxiety who longs for safety and security experiences dramatic changes when her father announces plans to remarry. Stella Blue North--"twelve, almost thirteen"--and her brother, Ridge, 10, are taken completely by surprise when their dad announces he's engaged to Whitney, his "surprise fianc�e," and that they're moving to Las Vegas to blend their families. Ridge goes with the flow, but surprises are not good for Stella's anxiety, and Whitney's 15-year-old daughter, Vivian, is not enthused about sharing her room. Stella and Vivian form an alliance they call Supernova Quest to break up the impending marriage so they can return to their normal lives. The girls also attempt to see--and change--the future by consulting a mystic and a palm reader, getting a tarot card reading, and buying crystals. But the wedding seems inevitable, even when Stella's mom reappears after completing rehab. Stella's first-person narration gives readers an understanding of what it's like to live with anxiety; she uses strategies from therapy, plays Tetris, and pets her emotional support pug, Pog. Some chapters open with upbeat postcards between Stella and a friend back home, and Stella develops a friendship with (and crush on) Cooper, a boy she meets in Las Vegas. Main characters are coded white; Cooper is Black. The lovingly depicted birth of a blended family. (information about the zodiac, crystals, palmistry, and Chinese zodiac) (Fiction. 10-14)
