Already restless at eleven years old, Elli Veil looks up at the stars and wishes for a life beyond the walls of the isolated, cult-like community of Box Hollow. When her favorite star disappears from the sky and no one in the village seems to care, Elli embarks on a quest to find the seven mysterious Wanderers. Along the way, she discovers the profound connections between humanity and the universe – and discovers a shocking secret about the origins of Box Hollow.
Filled with whimsical color illustrations and fascinating historical tidbits, Elli Veil is both a cozy little adventure for a rainy day, and a grand alchemical journey through the history of astronomy, as studied and interpreted by seven great cultures of the past. Can Elli solve the seven riddles before the North Star disappears forever? Can you?
I want to thank the author and Pen Pinery for the free ARC. Stated here are my opinions entirely.
A weird but wonderful story of a young girl's adventure in searching for the missing North Star. She lives in the little village of Box Hollow where to be square is to be there!
