My Review: Here
Keslea says: “M.C Frank did it again! I did not think that anything could top the first book No Ordinary Star, but as this story progressed I just wanted more and more. The writing blew me away again!”
Alex says: “Every chapter just kept my heart pumping and wanting more and more. I basically devoured this book as my dinner because food wasn’t even stopping me. I know, that sounds silly, but it’s true.”
Alina Says: If you’re looking for a unique, captivating, emotional read with an important, powerful message, I highly recommend you pick up No Ordinary Star trilogy and lose yourself in Felix’ and Astra’s story.”
Rebecca Says: “No Vain Loss did more than provide me with an amazing read that I’ll be crying about for months, it gave me an outlook on life, as all good writing should. It said something more than a story about a boy and a girl. It showed human nature, what loved ones do for those they love, and how sacrifices shouldn’t be in vain.”
Eileen Says: Praise for M.C. Frank and her incredible talent to create a tale of such pure and rare magic! You might shed some tears, your heart might break and you might be left only wanting more and you won’t be able to put it down for just a second.

My Review: Here
If you have not picked up book 1 in this trilogy yet, you are missing out. No Ordinary Star is beautifully immersive and elegantly lyrical. The trilogy reads like a dream!
Synopsis:
A soldier is summoned to the North Pole, days before the year changes, told to fix the great Clock for a celebration. He has no idea what to do.
A girl, hunted for the crime of being born, almost dies out on the ice. She is rescued by the last polar bear left alive.
A library waits for them both, a library built over a span of a hundred years, forgotten in the basement of an ice shack.
The world hasn’t known hunger or sickness in hundreds of years. It has also forgotten love and beauty.
This is the One World.
The year is 2524.
Inspired by the short stories of Ray Bradbury, this futuristic young adult novel in three parts is set in a world where Christmas -among other things- is obsolete and a Clock is what keeps the fragile balance of peace.
Written in three parts, this is the breathtaking story of how two unlikely people change the world, and each other, one book at a time.
