Seeking a stellar new series to get obsessed with? Your wish is our command! GL girls are loving the latest page-turner in the Star Darlings series, Good Wish Gone Bad by Shana Muldoon Zappa and Ahmet Zappa. This time around, the Darlings uncover a secret from the past that could destroy their world. It's a nail-biter of a story that will keep you guessing and wanting more. Here's what GL girls are saying about the book...

The story: The Star Darlings band together to save Starland from the dark forces of Rancora. They discover that two mortal enemies were once best friends—and that an old betrayal continues to fuel present-day bad blood. In the midst of darkness, they learn that forgiveness and friendship can overcome anything. 

Favorite scene: My favorite scene is when Stella encourages a young girl, Lindie, to pursue her passion for science despite the obstacles she faces in her society. It was uplifting to see the positive effects Lindie’s success had on other girls and how Stella helped Lindie reach her goals. 

Favorite quote: "If I went down to Wishworld, I would show girls and Wishlings of all colors that they can do anything they set their stars on—that they just have to believe in themselves."

Why you'll love it: The book made me feel like there's hope in humanity after all. It reminded me that chasing your dreams is so important—because it's not magic or special powers that make wishes come true, it's hard work and determination with a little encouragement.

What it taught me: One of the main issues in the book is that girls sometimes think they can't do something simply because they're girls—but the reality is girls can do anything.

The message: Good Wish Gone Bad is a book about friendship, forgiveness, having faith in yourself...and, most importantly, the power of fierce females.

All the feels: This book made me feel empowered. Being a girl can be difficult at times because society often places men on a higher level, but Good Wish Gone Bad reminded me to set my goals high and aim to achieve them with pride. So much girl power.

Why you'll love it: The book was not only inspiring, but it was also extremely interesting. It was a definite page-turner and I always wanted to know what would happen next. Now I can't wait to read the other books in the Star Darlings series.
