Year: 2217. Earth's biosphere is dying, Mars' terraforming projects are in ruin, and even the discovery of voidoids--eerie neo-quantum portals into nearby star systems--has failed to yield any other Earth-like worlds in Bound Space ... until now. Terra Corporation's discovery of Silvanus, a pristine forest world, seemingly in perfect balance, should be a cause for rejoicing. But instead, humanity is on the brink of a catastrophic war over its possession.

Zitlally's family is undocumented, and her father has just been arrested for speeding and deported back to Mexico. As her family waits for him to return—they’ve paid a coyote to guide him back across the border—they receive news that he and the coyote’s other charges have been kidnapped and are being held for ransom. Meanwhile, Zitlally and a new friend find a dog in the forest near their trailer park. They name it Star for the star-shaped patch over its eye. As time goes on, Zitlally starts to realize that Star is her father’s “spirit animal,” and that as long as Star is safe, her father will be also. But what will happen to Zitlally’s dad when Star disappears? “A vibrant, large-hearted story.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred (on Red Glass)
