About the Books
Kate Maryon has built a reputation as a sensitive, insightful storyteller for tween readers, and this collection showcases five of her most beloved standalone novels. In Shine, Tiff adores her glitzy mom, Carla, who keeps bringing home shiny new things — until the truth threatens to catch up with them. Glitter follows super-rich Liberty Parfitt, who must rethink what matters when her father loses his job. A Million Angels centers on Jemima, whose father is deployed to Afghanistan, capturing the quiet worry of a military family waiting at home. Invisible Girl introduces Gabriella, who slips through the cracks of a fracturing family and braves the streets to find her missing brother, Beckett. A Sea of Stars brings together Maya and Cat, two girls from different worlds whose friendship reshapes how they see themselves. Across all five books, Maryon explores loyalty, courage, and resilience through candid narration, with warmth rather than melodrama.
