At a Manhattan planetarium in 1965, ten-year-old Enzo and his young aunt, Mala, are separated, an event that profoundly modifies the rest of their lives. In an epic tale of love and fate, A Journey to the Stars charts their paths over the next fifteen years as they search for each other and, at the same time, find themselves. As Enzo and Mala cross continents and seas on their different journeys, they come across an excessive selection of individuals: an arachnologist in New Orleans, an asteroid expert, an injured B-52 navigator in Vietnam, a professional mind reader, a radical NASA astronomer, and countless others. All of them are searching for things they have actually lost– enjoyed ones, chances, knowledge. Through them Mala and Enzo discover a world steeped in secret, love, and intellectual experience. A Trip to the Stars is both a love story and a coming-of-age story that reveals us what occurs when we lose what matters most. Fusing creativity and suspense with remarkable narrative skill, Nicholas Christopher builds a story of significant scope that lingers in detail and feeling long after the last page has actually been turned.
