Gunnar’s strategy at school is simple: make as little noise as possible. But during recess, he plays soccer and despite never having been on a team, Gunnar is so good that he gets to play with the older kids at school.

Every morning, everyone in the schoolyard and on the football field watches the taxis arrive, dropping off students. They stand out, and that’s the worst thing you can do. What no one knows is that Gunnar’s sister is one of the odd birds being dropped off, and he’s willing to do anything to hide it. When he’s given a chance to truly change everything and make her disappear, he takes it! But nothing turns out the way he planned.

Eternity to the Stars is a book about family, alienation, and fitting in. It’s a story about hugs, a magical coin, a missing mom, and the most important soccer game of all time.
