Shine!

De: J.J. Grabenstein, Chris Grabenstein

Narrado por: Phoebe Strole

"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.

When Piper won the award

I just loved everything and did not dislike anything the book was soooo good I just loved it and hope to read more books like that

Piper milly

All the characters were either mean nice or good. I really like this book because how detailed and related it is to people’s lives. It is such a good book to read at a middle school level and I definitely think you should read it. Thank you it tells you that even someone with that that much money can do anything with the resources that you have with the people that love you and if anyone brings you down, it shows you that don’t stop trying. Thank you.

Everything But I like how you kind of teach a lesson

I like it all but end could’ve been a little better “ shine on stargazers” I love the book
