Synopsis

Liddi Jantzen hates the spotlight, but as the only daughter in the most powerful tech family in the galaxy, it's hard to escape it. When a complex interplanetary conspiracy unfolds, Liddi's brothers are held hostage. Their captor implants a device in Liddi's vocal cords: one word, and her brothers are dead. Desperate to save her family, Liddi finds the one person who could help save them. Haunting and mesmerising, this retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Wild Swans fuses all the heart of the classic fairy tale with a stunning, imaginative world.

About this title

Review:

"Another thing I loved about Spinning Starlight was the way that Liddi's narration (for about 80% of the novel) was inner narration, and an implant in her throat forbade her to speak, or her brothers would be killed. This was such a fascinating and well thought-out twist to the novel... I honestly loved this aspect of Spinning Starlight, and this was just one element that R.C. Lewis obviously carefully crafted to create the perfect YA blend of fairytale, sci-fi, action and romance." --Delightful Book Reviews

"Altogether, I loved Spinning Starlight, and I'm pretty sure you will too! I highly encourage you to check it out." --Alix Long

About the Author:

R. C. Lewis (www.rclewisbooks.com and @RC_Lewis) teaches math to teenagers-sometimes in sign language, sometimes not-so whether she's a science geek or a bookworm depends on when you look. That may explain why her characters don't like to be pigeonholed. Coincidentally, R. C. enjoys reading about quantum physics and the identity issues of photons.
