Eiven and the Book of the Stars

by Magdiel Hernández G.

Overview

Eiven Mir lives in Cancun, and she is the oldest of three sisters with whom she fights constantly. She studies in the sixth grade and is a girl, like many others, with age-appropriate problems; she is afraid of many things, she has a grumpy teacher who hates her and wants to fail her at all costs. She is definitely NOT one of the popular girls due to her short stature, big eyes, curly hair, and extreme taste for drawing strange things. Although all this is secondary, today, Eiven has two big problems that keep her awake at night. The first one being the confusing feelings she has started to develop for her best friend, Terek, and the second one is the strange events that have been happening in her life since her eleventh birthday; that's why she is looking forward to spring break when she will go to visit her grandparents in Mexico City, But what seemed to be the first day of vacation becomes the beginning of an adventure in which characters and ancient stories mix to help her rediscover a family secret related to an ancient magical artifact and push her to discover that she is stronger and braver than she thinks; and to understand that family, and sister love is the most important thing.

About the Author

I was born on November 1st, 1986, in Mexico City. All my life, I dreamed of making animated films and video games; I had so many ideas that I wanted to see materialized. In 2007, I began to study digital animation but then came into my life my second passion, cybersecurity. I had to put on hold my career and imagination to succeed in that field; the sacrifice was worth it because I consider that I have managed to achieve my professional goals, and despite spending over fourteen years fighting with cyber criminals, I never forget my first love, my first dream: inventing stories, and see them materialize before my eyes. In 2019 when COVID-19 sent us to shelter at home, and as it happened to many, I began to have some episodes of anxiety, especially at night; these disappeared when I decided to write down the stories I made up to tell my daughters before bedtime and put them in the form of a book, the idea started small and gradually was taking more shape and strength, so today, fourteen years later, I see this first step of my dream fulfilled, my first story of hopefully many to come.
