Star Song

De: Edward Willett

Narrado por: Amy Cau Nugent

From an Aurora Award-winning author comes a thrilling young-adult outer-space adventure.

When the old woman who raised him in a remote village is murdered, Kriss Lemarc finds himself alone on a planet where he'll always be an outsider.

His only link to his long-dead, unknown parents is the touchlyre they bequeathed him, a strange instrument that not only plays music but pours his innermost feelings into the minds of his listeners.

When Tevera, a girl of the space-going, nomadic Family, hears Kriss perform, she is drawn to him against her better judgment and the rules of her people. With her help, though mistrusted and even hated by some of her comrades, Kriss seeks to discover the origin of the touchlyre, the fate of his parents, and a place where he truly belongs.

But the touchlyre proves to be more than just a musical oddity. Powerful, ruthless people will stop at nothing to get it—and Kriss and Tevera are all that stand in their way.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A standalone sci-fi fantasy tale for young adult readers that is sure to captivate from the very first chapter."—Amanda Zimmerman, SaskBooks Reviews

“Star Song’s plot is well-crafted, beautifully-paced, and totally unpredictable. . . Willett) is a skilled writer—able to walk that tightrope between too little and too much, too fast and too slow, too weird and too familiar. Star Song is an engaging, ambitious, and ultimately satisfying adventure that would be an excellent choice for young (and old!) readers of fantasy or sci fi.”–Maureen Ulrich, author of the Winds of Change series
