Distant Stars
Book 3
From the Series Life on Earth
In the final volume of the Life on Earth trilogy, Eisner-nominated cartoonist MariNaomi concludes her tale of growing up, falling in and out of love, and possible alien interventions.
After an unexplained disappearance—and a reappearance that was just as odd—Claudia Jones is back at Blithedale High School. She’s even started to tutor Nigel, who feels the power of Claudia’s presence like no one else.
The days are extra strange for Nigel’s friends. Shy, self-deprecating Paula is coming into her own—and it’s making her new girlfriend, Johanna, a little nervous. Paula’s former friend Emily is learning to look inward. And Brett Hathaway, Emily and Paula’s mutual ex-hook-up, is torn about reconnecting with his estranged dad. As Claudia and her guardians put their plans in motion, they’ll reveal a truth that links everyone’s fate.
