Synopsis

"Soler's narration fits the tone of each story and provides unique voices for each character, including a breathy, high-pitched voice for Winter and a harder, cruel voice for Mistress Sybil." ― AudioFile Magazine

The #1 New York Times Bestselling Series!

The enchantment continues. . . .
The universe of the Lunar Chronicles holds stories - and secrets - that are wondrous, vicious, and romantic. How did Cinder first arrive in New Beijing? How did the brooding soldier Wolf transform from young man to killer? When did Princess Winter and the palace guard Jacin realize their destinies?

With six stories - two of which have never before been published - and an exclusive never-before-heard excerpt from Marissa Meyer's novel, Heartless, about the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, Stars Above is the essential audiobook for fans of the bestselling and beloved Lunar Chronicles.

About this title

About the Author:

Marissa Meyer is the USA Today- and New York Times-bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles: Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, Winter, and Fairest: Levana's Story. She lives in Tacoma, Washington, with her husband.

From School Library Journal:

Gr 9 Up—Fans of "The Lunar Chronicles" are treated here to nine short stories, seven of which flesh out seminal moments in the characters' young lives, including how Cinder came under the protection of Michelle Benoit, the traumatic incident that causes a young Winter to vow never to use her lunar gift; Cress's initial imprisonment in the satellite; and Wolf's conscription into the Queen's Army. The collection is rounded out with Cinder and Kai's first meeting from the prince's point of view and, finally, a story set two years after the events of Winter with the major characters reuniting for a wedding. Rebecca Soler once again lends her considerable talents to the series. As always, her pacing is excellent. VERDICT Series fans will be delighted to have expanded backstories, and they will be thrilled to hear about the happy endings in store for their favorite characters. ["This companion title will not disappoint fans and will make a worthy addition to libraries where the "Lunar Chronicles" are popular": SLJ 4/16 review of the Feiwel & Friends book.]—Amanda Raklovits, Champaign Public Library, IL
