A Net of Stars

Etta just knows this is the year she'll be brave enough to ride the Ferris wheel at the midway fair--she's even told her brother and sister. But when she tests herself on top of the chicken coop and finds she's too scared to move, she's suddenly not so sure--the sky is so vast, what's out there to catch her if she falls? But through love and support from a caring older sister and a wonderful combination of determination and imagination, Etta comes to discover she really is able to soar to new heightsjust as readers will when they cheer Etta on with each turn of the page! With a deceptively simple, timeless tale, Jennifer Richard Jacobson's debut on the Dial list is a spectacular one, while renowned artist Greg Shed's paintings literally illuminate the page.
