(3) YA Before he died, fourteen-year-old Melissa's father told her that the brightest stars aren't the most spectacular. But believing him is difficult when both her mother and sister are dazzlingly beautiful. Melissa's struggle with who she is leads her to discover that being beautiful doesn't solve everything. Cantor's fluid writing tells an authentic story about grief and self-acceptance.
