Quintessence is an extraordinary story from Jess Redman about friendship, self-discovery, interconnectedness, and the inexplicable elements that make you you.
Three months ago, twelve-year-old Alma moved to the town of Four Points. Her panic attacks started a week later, and they havenât stoppedâeven though sheâs told her parents that they have. Sheâs homesick and friendless and every day she feels less and less like herself.
But one day she finds a telescope in the townâs junk shop, and through its lens, she watches a starâa star that looks like a childâfall from the sky and into her backyard. Alma knows what itâs like to be lost and afraid, to long for home, and she knows that itâs up to her to save the star. And so, with the help of some unlikely new friends from Astronomy Club, she sets out on a quest that will take a little bit of science, a little bit of magic, and her whole self.
