There is another dimension which exists so nearby that we often travel there and back without even knowing it. (Perhaps we have the vaguest feeling something's missing in our lives--and it probably is.) Only people who are very wise or very young can tell the difference. It's obvious enough--but it can only be seen by those with hearts attuned to the things that really matter.   As twelve-year-old Abigail knows only too well, most people see, hear, and feel only the most ridiculous, unimportant things. She hates her name, she hates her parents: bookkeeper Bob and his wife, stepmother Sue. She hates her school, she hates her town, and, most of all, she hates her life. But that's about to change. A race of beings whose job it is to keep the galaxy alive connects with this young girl in a last ditch effort to save the universe. Worlds collide as a kaleidoscopic cast of characters take you on an astonishing journey where anything is possible--as long as you give up everything you think you know.  What Abigail Anderson knows--and Harry Potter and the others do not--is that the archetypes we confront, the shades of good and evil they represent, and the intimacies they harbor are the natural turf of little girls, not little boys. In "The Star Eaters" her adventures with the race who guides the world often depend more on the revealing and sharing of secrets than the exchange of blows.
