A very short book; it's cute and has an interesting take on mythology, but I found myself wishing there was more to it.
Hayley is a young girl who has been sent away from her strict grandparents' home into a bewildering situation - a house full of loud and cheerful cousins and other relatives. At first she's overwhelmed, but she's quickly won over by the society of the (mostly) friendly other children - and recruited into playing a secret - and forbidden - game. But when they are betrayed, Hayley learns more than she would have guessed about herself and the nature of her family.
Recommended for anyone who's fascinated by the mythology surrounding the constellations.

a fun brief romp by one of my favorite young adult/children's authors. A young girl goes to visit her distant relatives and unexpectedly changes the who infrastructure of the family and if she's not careful, the universe.
