Tristran Thorn would do absolutely anything to win pretty Victoria Forrester's heart. Even venture across The Wall into
mysterious Faerie in search of a fallen star.
But once he enters Faerie, strange things begin to happen.
Tristran knows the location of every place in the land. He meets a strange, small man who gives him a candle that allows
him to travel great distances. And when he finally finds the fallen star, Tristran discovers that it is not a lump of rock like
he thought, but a young woman, who has quite the mind of her own.
Tristran, though, isn't the only one looking for the star. The witch queen and a group of three brothers all want something
of it. For these brothers, it's the power she possesses. For the witch, it's her heart.
STARDUST was completely entrancing, charming, and a surprisingly quick read. The star's spunk and Tristran's
humanity are both to be admired in this adventurous tale that will make you laugh out loud and break into tears. This is
one book not to be missed.
