Graci Kim Releases The Book The Last Fallen Star

In her middle grade debut novel, THE LAST FALLEN STAR, Graci Kim takes us into a world of Korean mythology when we meet the Gom clan, a powerful lineage of Korean healing witches. Riley Oh can't wait to see her sister, Hattie, get initiated into the clan and finally be able to cast spells without adult supervision. Although Riley is desperate to follow in her sister's footsteps when she herself turns thirteen, she's a saram--a person without magic. Riley was adopted, and despite having memorized every healing spell she's ever heard, she often feels like the odd one out in her family and the gifted community. The sisters hatch a plan to help Riley which ends up with Hattie’s life hanging in the balance. Riley must find the last star in order to save her sister. As Riley embarks on her search, she finds herself meeting fantastic creatures and collaborating with her worst enemies. And when she uncovers secrets that challenge everything she has been taught to believe, Riley must decide what it means to be a witch, what it means to be family, and what it really means to belong.
