Book Description

Winner of four utopYA Awards, including Best Book of the Year and Best Sci-Fi Book of the Year Kricket Hollowell never wished upon stars. She was too busy hiding in plain sight, eluding Chicago's foster care system. As her eighteenth birthday approaches, she now eagerly anticipates the day she'll stop running and finally find her place in the world. That day comes when she meets a young Etharian soldier named Trey Allairis, who has been charged with coming to Earth to find Kricket and transport her to her true home. As danger draws close, he must protect her until she can wield the powers she cannot use on Earth...and he soon realizes that counting a galaxy of stars would be easier than losing this extraordinary girl. Kyon knows the powerful depths of Kricket's gifts--gifts he'll control when he takes her for his tribe and leads the forces that will claim Ethar and destroy his enemies, starting with Trey Allairis. Now, Kricket faces the most difficult choice of her life: whether to wage a battle for survival or a fight for love. Revised edition: This edition of Under Different Stars includes editorial revisions.

Book Description

Kricket's Adventures is a compilation of true-life stories that took place during the first five years of her life. It is designed to be read to younger children or to be read by an older child. Within these pages, you will be quite entertained by the imagination and humor of one so young. Alongside her puppies, kittens, ducks, snakes, worms, chickens, birds, and squirrels, you will discover Kricket's wonderful imagination and playfulness. One adventure to look forward to is when Sissy left the refrigerator door untied. I heard laughing, and I thought to myself, The refrigerator is tied so it can't be that Kricket was throwing food around. That was the laughing sound I heard, very familiar to my ears. I sat a moment or two and decided that you were just laughing at your dog, Bubba, and your cat, Spice. Then you kept laughing, and I decided that I had better check on you. Sure enough, you had taken out the vegetable soup, and you had thrown it all over the kitchen, walls, tables, floor--you name it. Bubba was trying to catch the food as you threw it, and that was what was making you laugh so hard. My mop was broken, and I had to clean the floor on my hands and knees. You were saying, "Kricket be nice, Mom." I had you sit and watch me the whole time I cleaned. You were about two years old during this episode. As Kricket's mother, I hope you enjoy reading Kricket's Adventures and have many of your own with your child.

Book Description

The highly anticipated sequel to Under Different Stars, nominated for eight 2015 utopYA Awards, including Best Book of the Year and Best Sci-Fi Book of the Year. Eighteen-year-old Kricket Hollowell was looking for her place in the world when she discovered that the universe was bigger--and more dangerous--than she had ever dreamed. Now, whisked across space to the planet Ethar, Kricket learns that her genetic ability to see the future makes her a sought-after commodity...and the catalyst for war between her star-crossed parents' clans. According to Alameedan prophecy, one house will rise to power and the other will be completely wiped out, and Kricket's precognition is believed to be the weapon that will tip the scales. A target of both the Rafe and the Alameeda houses, Kricket finds protection--and a home--in the arms of Trey, her Etharian bodyguard-turned-boyfriend. But her visions of what's to come disturb her deeply, especially since she must discover whether the gift of foresight will allow her to rewrite the future, or if her fate is as immovable as the stars.

Book Description

Cold, fine drops of rain fall softly on my cheeks as I emerge from the darkness of the ship's interior to the gray, overcast sky of the main deck. Pulling my dark pea coat tighter to my body, the wind lifts red tendrils of my hair. I walk slowly to the railing overlooking the water. I catch my first sight of the Irish coastline; its craggy landscape makes me shiver in dread. I find it difficult to imagine now how the Gancanagh had made this their home for so long without anyone realizing it. The cold, moss-covered edifices practically scream their presence. As I study the shadows between the falling-down stone, I imagine creeping shapes of undead Faeries grasping the rock, waiting for our ship to draw nearer to their position. Tipping my face up, I let the rain wash over me. It bathes away the frigid sweat of fear that has broken on my brow. "You don't know how fiercely beautiful you are, do you?" A quiet voice behind me asks, causing me to stiffen and fix my eyes on the rocks along the shoreline.
