Overview

Do you know a little girl who's ever loved too deeply, asked too many questions, or burned brighter than her world can handle? Nova is that kind of gal. She sees sparks of wonder everywhere - in her imagination, in her questions, and even in her ever-expanding vocabulary. But when her teacher, Miss Crissy Hypo, tries to smother that spark with rules, lists, and excessive rudeness, Nova stays true to who she is. With more than one trip to the principal's office and a few emotional outbursts, Nova must navigate big emotions without smothering her zeal and zest for life. With the help of her loving and erudite mentor, Astrid Beeswax, and her three best friends, Nova sets out to prove that imagination isn't something to outgrow; it's something to protect. She invests her energy in standing up for her friends, creating crafts with as much glitter as possible, learning about the world around her, and observing the contradictions in adult behavior. With the original cast of Doily Dayle as her patchwork family, Nova shows us the difference a lot of love can make in the life of a child who has lost her parents. What is poured in, comes out in great abundance. Heartfelt, witty, and wonderfully quirky, Chronicles of the Fire Child invites families to rediscover the beauty of curiosity, courage, and kindness when it's easier to lash out and throw a fit. A perfect read-aloud for families who believe in the power of story - and for every little girl who burns as bright as a supernova.
