Bookroo's summary
A starfish dreams of shining among the stars and, with her friends' help, reaches the sky. But the celestial world isn't what it seems. Will she find where she truly belongs? Join her on a journey of discovery and return to the sea, where she learns the value of home and identity.
From the publisher
Starfish decides life would be better if she lived in the sky, where she could shine and dance like the other stars. With the help of her friends, she reaches the constellations, where she quickly discovers that things are not always as they appear. Her wish to return to the sea is granted by a passing shooting star. Come with Starfish as she dives back into her aquatic home, and into the realization that we all have a place where we belong.
