High in the sky above Earth is a most beautiful star,
inhabited by a race of people who keep the heavens safe the
Starlings. Their job, which they have done for as long as
anyone can remember, is to help grant the wishes of humans.
Wishes made on birthday candles, shooting stars, dandelions,
wishbones, and coins tossed into fountains, just to name a
few. As long as humans keep believing in wishes, the stars
will keep shining in the sky and life, for Starlings and
humans alike, will continue as they know it. Book One begins as the incoming class arrives at Star
Academy. Cassie is having some trouble fitting in, feeling
homesick already. She's doubting herself a bit, wondering if
she really even belongs in Star Academy. Plus she's not
particularly fond of her roommate, who is a little too blunt
for Cassie's taste. She has begun to retreat inside her
shell a bit. The girls begin to take classes, meet new
friends. Then, unexpectedly, twelve girls are summoned to
the headmistress's office for a meeting. They soon discover
that they have each done something remarkable in their first
week and have been identified as truly special students. And
something genuinely extraordinary is going to be asked of
each of them as a result. The headmistress explains that something unusual has been
going on. Wishes are not being fulfilled as easily as they
have been in the past. Humans are starting to disbelieve and
make fewer wishes. Something drastic needs to be done. The
twelve girls are given a special name: the Star Darlings.
And it's up to them to find out why humans have stopped
believing—and to fix it!
