Some say that long ago in the land of Ulv, the sky was filled with Stars. Twelve-year-old Bo knows the stories, but, like most, thinks
the Stars and the wolf who ate them are just myths. No bedtime story can stop the ravenous Shadow Creatures from running
rampant every night when it turns Dark. Until the day Bo's guardian, Mads, is attacked by a giant wolf straight from the
legends. With his dying breath, Mads tells Bo that a great evil has been awakened, giving the Shadow Creatures unprecedented
power, and the only way to stop it from spreading is to return th Stars to the sky.
And so Bo—accompanied by his best friend, a fox called Nix; a girl named Selene with surprising magical abilities; and Tam, a
birdwoman who has vowed to protect Bo at all costs—sets off on a quest to find the three magic keys that will release the Stars. But
they're not the only ones after the Stars, and the friends soon find themselves fleeing angry villagers, dangerous beasts, greedy
merchants, and a vengeful wolf. And all the while, an evil witch lurks in the shado

      Twelve-year-old Bo, who was abandoned in the forest as an infant, has always been shunned by local villagers, who believe that he’s tainted by the Shadow Creatures that roam the Dark at night. When his guardian, acerbic woodcutter Mads, is killed by an enormous magical wolf, Bo is tasked with a seemingly impossible quest: find the three keys needed to release the wish-granting Stars and return magic
      to the land. Accompanied by his fox, Nix; a magic-wielding girl; and a Korakhu—half woman, half bird—Bo must journey far and wide to solve the three riddles that unlock each step of the quest as ruthless foes seek to find the Stars before him. With this fanciful adventure, Plozza (Tin Heart) invokes the language of myth and fairy tales to construct a complex, heartwarming hero’s quest. Her world, as explored both through Bo’s experiences and excerpts from fictional document “The True Histories of Ulv,” possesses sufficient humor and heart to balance the darkness. Ages 8–12. Agent: Katelyn Detweiler, Jill Grinberg Literary.
