Cover – Tavano	Eyes Like Stars by Ashley Poston (Delacorte Press – ISBN 978-0-7364-4858-1) A charming young adult romance featuring all-new characters (plus cameos!), a magnetic attraction, a mysterious artifact, and the fearsome First Order from New York Times bestseller, Ashley Poston. When eighteen-year-old Ardent Quay saves the life of a snarky Wild Spacer on Coruscant, she doesn’t expect a thank you—and she certainly doesn’t expect him to stowaway on her father’s star tour ship. Yet here he is, taking up residence in the ship’s pantry and eating all of her favorite snacks. He’s mysterious and coy and strange, with silver hair and eyes speckled with stars, and no matter how much she tries to pull away, she can’t. She should report him to her father, but he soon convinces her that there’s a nefarious plot at play on this ship, one that has the lives of everyone onboard at stake. With the galaxy on the brink of war and the First Order breathing down their necks, Ardent and her stowaway must ferry a precious artifact to its home world without getting caught—or worse, killed. This is, actually, a terrible time to take a tour of the galaxy. And an even worst time to fall in love. But the views are always exquisite onboard the Starfarer.
