Marni is a young girl dealing with the recent death of her
grandmother, which has left her emotionally devastated and
struggling to cope. Granny Hitchins was a wonderfully curious
woman, responsible for giving her granddaughter a rich sense of
imagination and adventure, as well as an old and mysterious
"Artifact." Granny Hitchins found the Artifact when she was herself
a child and, with origins unknown, it provided a lifetime of
adventure, speculation, and storytelling for herself, her son, and
finally, her granddaughter. While not a replacement, the Artifact
is nonetheless a treasured memento for Marni after her
grandmother's death. With the love and support of her two best
friends, Sophie and Elora, and the magic of the Artifact to comfort
her, Marni is just beginning to cope with the loss of her beloved
grandmother when her life takes an abrupt and strange turn. While
the girls are examining the Artifact on a backyard camping trip,
the object suddenly takes on a life of its own, transporting the
three friends and their tent to a strange and distant world. After
exploring the tent and their immediate surroundings, the girls
discover that the Artifact has vanished, leaving them alone and
afraid under a very alien sky. After summoning their courage,
Marni, Sophie and Elora venture out to explore their alien
surroundings, where they find a surreal world containing a robot, a
mysterious far-off tower, and an illusive yet terrifying monster.
Scared, yet buoyed by the stories and songs that they've heard
while growing up, the three girls gather their meagre supplies and
head out into the wilderness, determined to find a way home. A
magical tale with the most unlikeliest of heroes, "Stargazer" is an
exploration of friendship, loss, and hope. By turns terrifying,
poignant, and humorous, "Stargazer" is part fairytale, part science
fiction, and part adventure story. Anyone who has ever opened a
book, looked up at the stars, or dreamed will love this
story....and wish they'd been the one to find the Artifact.
