Description

Two chicklings. Two weasels. One epic battle. Ophelia Starcluck can’t lose another friend. When her last bestie, Keira, moved away, she told Ophelia that since she didn’t like jumpers and sunflower seeds, she never wanted to see her again. Then Ophelia met Finn, and she’s 95.7% sure they have everything in common. Nothing could rock their friendship…until weasels, intent on terrorizing the galaxy, invade their spacecraft and knock all the adults out with sleeping gas. Ophelia sends a desperate cluck for help to any nearby ships, but no one answers. Alone in deep space, it’s up to her and Finn to fight the weasels in a battle of knowledge and skill to rescue their vessel and crew. But when Finn admits he’s been keeping a secret, Ophelia’s world shatters, putting the battle and their relationship at risk. With another friendship on the line, can Ophelia work with Finn to kick the weasels off their ship and save the galaxy? Ophelia Starcluck Saves the Galaxy is the first adventure in the new middle grade series, The Starcluck Adventures. If you like stories with friends, quirky humor, animals, and treks through space, you’ll love Kristen Gwen’s plucky tale. Pick up your copy today to embark on a solar-tastic journey.
