A Pocketful of Stars

Eliza never wanted to be a wizard. She was perfectly content working in the quiet halls of Blueville's grand library, reading about magic rather than practicing it. But when her meddlesome friend enrolls her in the Wizard's Trial Program, Eliza is thrust into a magical labyrinth designed to teach spellcasting to children—a maze filled with glowing mushrooms, dangerous puzzles, and a disgruntled wizard named Xavier. Xavier is passionate about wizardry, even if fewer and fewer students share his enthusiasm. When Eliza steps into his classroom, her unconventional approach to magic challenges everything he thought he knew. She doesn't just bend the rules—she rewrites them entirely, all without casting a single spell. As the pair navigate the trials together, Eliza's sharp mind and Xavier's unyielding belief in magic spark more than just intellectual debates. But can their growing connection survive when their views on magic—and life—collide? A Pocketful of Stars is a whimsical tale of self-discovery, unlikely partnerships, and the magic that happens when two hearts find common ground amidst the impossible.
