For one 12-year-old girl, the end of the world is just the beginning!
12-year-old Jayla Cooper spends her nights on the couch at the University of Alaska, as her father searches the stars from the Fairbanks observatory. But when a strange celestial alignment draws him deeper into the night, Jayla recognizes the phenomenon for what it is: the end of the world.
Jayla is helped by her YouTuber friend, Watson, and Cherry - a Native Alaskan from Fort Yukon. Aided by the spirit of Jayla's mother, they must evade and outwit scientists, the FBI, and the President of the United States herself, if they are going to save the world.
Join Jayla this Christmas as she travels from Fairbanks to Seattle, and then the White House, always one step ahead, but light years behind The Starlighter.
The Starlighter is an action-packed story suitable for young teens and rebellious adults looking for a good read! The central themes include climate change, dealing with parental loss, and community action to save the planet.
Christoffer Petersen also writes crime books and thrillers set in Greenland and the Arctic. The Starlighter is his first children's book.
