Description
'Who do you want to be?' asks Mr. Van Deusen. "And not when you grow up. Right here, right now."
Shine on! might be the catchphrase of 12-year-old Piper's hero-astronaut, astronomer, and television host, Nellie Dumont Frisse, but Piper knows the truth- some people are born to shine-and she's just not one of them. A fact that's never been more clear than now when her dad's new job lands them both at Chumley Prep, a posh private school where everyone seems to be the very best at something and where Piper definitely doesn't fit in.
Bursting with humor, heart, science, possibilities and big questions, Shine! is a story about finding your place in the universe-a story about figuring out who you are and who you want to be.
