Take an imaginative wild ride in a real-world setting with gut-twisting, lip-biting loops and a punch of fantasy. Darby has just turned twelve and is expecting this birthday to be just as normal as the few previous ones. As customary as it is innocent, she is entitled to a wish that is never expected to come true. On this night she happens to double her luck as she makes it while watching a shooting star dart across a star bespeckled black sky. Much to her amazement, it is fulfilled, but it drastically changes the Universe. The rest of the world is astounded and quickly converges on her home to observe the mysteriously magnificent phenomena, trying to find out what is happening. Unfortunately, things do not stay the way she thought. Enter the U.S. government. Seeing that this is a unique and extremely momentous occurrence, it moves NASA in to handle the situation, and when it discovers the truth it, also, mobilizes the military to hastily contain it all for its own shrewd purposes, without understanding what it is facing and the possible consequences of its actions. Many arise (greatly detailed in several action-packed, page-turning vignettes). Everything escalates and the world is placed in peril, facing extinction. What does the government do? Is a connection made? Can fate be changed? Includes a GLOSSARY.
