Marie Hebert is just a normal teenager except that she has an IQ of 163. Gifted in both math and music, Marie dreams of a career in astrophysics while she struggles with being teased for her intelligence. She finds refuge in a rock band with four friends, and high school soon becomes a balancing act from doling out autographs to adoring fans to mastering the intricacies of differential equations. Despite the band's popularity, Marie still finds herself dealing with bullies and boys not asking her out on dates. Things begin to change when she meets the one boy who seems the perfect boyfriend. But would she throw it all away for another boy she desperately wants but can't have? Marie soon faces a tough decision. Is she smart enough to make the right choice? Set in the late 1970s, Young Star Rising delves into coming-of-age when phones were tethered to walls, TV had five channels, and classic rock on LPs ruled. Explore the sometimes geeky world of teen life before texting and social media, when hanging out at the local diner was how you kept in touch.
