Bookroo's summary

Wren's discovery of stardust magic reveals the Land of Nod is real, and its secrets are dangerous. With the malevolent Magician Boggen plotting his return to Earth, Wren faces a perilous journey to Nod's heart. Can she stop Boggen and save her world, or will his dark magic prevail? Embark on a thrilling adventure where nursery rhymes hold hidden truths and the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance.

From the publisher

The rhymes of Mother Goose meet A Wrinkle in Time in this sequel to A Sliver of Stardust, from Marissa Burt, the author of Storybound.The Land of Nod used to be just a name in a nursery rhyme to Wren. But when she discovered the secret magic of stardust, she learned that some of those rhymes had secrets of their own–and the Land of Nod is real.A few months ago, the evil Magician Boggen attempted to escape his exile on Nod and return to Earth. Wren stopped him, but Boggen is still out there. To save her world, Wren will travel farther than even she could have dreamed: to the heart of Nod itself, where she must defeat Boggen once and for all.A fantastic adventure with a captivating world, inventive magic, and a dash of science, A Legend of Starfire is the perfect next read for fans of Madeleine L’Engle, John Stephens’s The Emerald Atlas, or Stefan Bachmann’s The Peculiar.
