SOUND FROM A STAR by Fred Yager
Hannacroix Creek Books, Inc.
$19.95 trade paperback
$31.95 hardcover

Devon Turner is a teenager who, when he's recorded some music off his satellite dish, believes that it's extraterrestrial in origin because it's able to bring his dying plants back to life! What Devon doesn't realize is that the music contains powerful vibrations that can destroy as well as heal. "Sound from a Star" is a deftly written, original, and thoroughly entertaining read offering 149-pages of engaging story that will grip the total attention of teen readers from first page to last. "Sound from a Star" is highly recommend for both community library collections and personal reading lists.
