Three months ago, twelve-year-old Alma moved to the town of Four Points. Her panic attacks started a week later, and they haven’t stopped—even though she told her parents that they did. Every day she feels less and less like herself.

Then Alma meets the ShopKeeper in the town’s junk shop, The Fifth Point. The ShopKeeper gives her a telescope and this message:
Find the Elements.
Grow the Light.
Save the Starling.
That night, Alma watches as a star—a star that looks like a child—falls from the sky and into her backyard. Alma knows what it’s like to be lost and afraid, to long for home, and with the help of some unlikely new friends from the Astronomy Club, she sets out on a quest that will take a little bit of astronomy, a little bit of alchemy, and her whole self.

QUINTESSENCE is a stunning story of friendship, self-discovery, interconnectedness, and the inexplicable elements that make you you.

Book Trailer:




Review: Quintessence is a coming of age tale. Alma and her family have relocated to a new town and she is out of place. Something in her being is missing. She feels drawn to a tower in town owned by an old bearded man and wander in one day. Accepting his repurposed astronomy tool may be the key to rediscovering who she is. Exploring anxiety, PTSD and navigating junior high in a new town, Quintessence wraps up a transformation of inner light in a whimsical tale of science.
