It's 1990 in Miami, and Starla Gordon feels like the only ordinary person in a very extraordinary family. Her mother has supernatural powers. Her aunt does, too. Starla? Not even a hint.
As she starts her senior year at a new school, San Marcos Academy, Starla is determined to stand out-preferably in a way that gets her crush, Gabe Roundtree, to finally see her. But when eerie noises echo through the halls, and students witness apparent supernatural hauntings, Starla and her friends realize they've stumbled into something far more frightening than high school drama.
What begins as curiosity about an urban legend quickly becomes something more. As the mystery deepens, the group attempts a daring heist to steal an old yearbook that may hold the truth behind the haunting-and expose a decade-old mystery.
Meanwhile, Starla launches her own search for answers, unraveling family secrets that she hopes hold the key to unlocking her powers-if she even has any.
Set against the neon-soaked backdrop of Miami and filled with friendship, retro nostalgia, spooky Halloween chills, and supernatural suspense, Song of the Starling is a fast-paced, addictive read perfect for fans of:
- Stranger Things
- Paper Girls
- Fear Street
- And lighthearted supernatural thrillers with sci-fi twists
Set ten years after the events of the prior books in the award-winning Magic City Wonders series, Song of the Starling brings readers into a brand-new standalone supernatural thriller mystery.
