\"book<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The car wreck changed everything,
healing is so slow –
can fractured relationships be mended too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More operations ahead for Luna after the accident that left Dad in a wheelchair and the 12 year old with big facial scars under a treatment mask<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her new neighbors are truly magical, as young Alessandro and Chiara ignore Luna’s scars and take her up with them in their zeppelin to brush the dust from the Moon and stars, as all spazzatrici do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only Uncle Mike understands how she needs to keep drawing every night when the pain won’t let her sleep – and that the spazzatrici are real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She can’t stand to see the pity in Tailee’s eyes, stops returning her best friend’s phone calls, wants things to just be normal again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would stardust make Dad less sad about not working in their Italian-American family deli? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could a shooting star grant Luna’s wish for healing if she caught one? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sail up from Staten Island to help place new stars in their constellations and enjoy the drawings that Luna delivers to other neighbors in this magical tale – happy book birthday to The Trouble With Shooting Stars!<\/em>
