Starstruck: A Young Adult Science-Fantasy Romance

Marsha, a self-described astronomy geek known as M to her few friends, has lived an unremarkable life in Jewel, Indiana. Orphaned as an infant and raised by a strict aunt, she dreams of escaping her small town but sees little chance of it happening. Her life changes when Rigel, the new quarterback, unexpectedly befriends her and begins spending time with her instead of the cheerleaders who pursue him. As their connection deepens, unusual events occur: M's acne disappears, her vision improves enough to abandon her thick glasses, and physical contact between them produces literal sparks. When M investigates these phenomena, she uncovers secrets that transform her ordinary existence and introduce her to unexpected dangers. This is the first book in the award-winning Starstruck series, which combines teen romance with science fiction elements. The series concludes with Starfall, now available.
