VEGA'S PIECE OF THE SKY

Kyla Garcia's lively narration will immediately hook listeners on this adventure audiobook told from multiple points of view. When a chunk of a meteorite crashes into Vega's yard, she quickly realizes it may be just the lucky break she needs. Along with her nervous cousin, Mila, and a strange boy named Jasper, Vega sets off through the desert in search of space rocks to fund the home renovations that may keep her beloved Tata out of a nursing home. Garcia crafts a slightly different voice for each character as they each reveal their feelings during the hunt. Shy Mila learns to value her keen perceptions, Jasper confesses his frustrations with his pie-in-the-sky father, and outwardly confident Vega admits her deepest self-doubts.
