Description
A charming romantic dramedy from the author of The Art of Insanity High schooler Skyler Davidson spends most of her time with her pet rat, Five. The daughter of scientists, she's determined to finish her late mother's research on neutron stars. So she teams up with aspiring videographer, Cooper, to film a submission for a NASA internship--all while keeping it a secret from her dad, who doesn't expect any trouble from his obviously college-bound daughter. As Skyler and Cooper grow closer, it turns out that Skyler's dad has a new love interest as well: a hot makeup influencer who likes to put her nose where it doesn't belong. She'll keep hush on Skyler's NASA plans, if Skyler agrees to get to know her. Now Skyler's tangled up in a budding romance, an unexpected friendship, and the stress of having to retake her SATs. Will Skyler's dream of stars collapse and explode, or can dad and daughter reconcile and change their trajectory?

Sky will capture the hearts of readers."--School Library Journal "A heartwarming story about growing up."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "The romance between Cooper and Skyler is sweet, as is the endearing friendship between Skyler and her dad's new girlfriend. The ending makes this journey with Skyler to the stars and back worthwhile."--Booklist "A sincere story about personal risks and emotional growth."--Kirkus Reviews
