Fifth-grader Star Bell had a date, a nosy best friend, and two very big secrets. Logan promised her a secret adventure. But Crystal figured it out and wanted in. And Star discovered that her other secret might change the world….

Star brings every youngster’s fantasy to life when she explores a seemingly magical portal to make-believe worlds of adventure, mystery, and danger. From a turbulent flying carpet ride fleeing an evil magician, to swashbuckling sword fights with lusty pirates, to a frightening encounter with the ghost of an orbiting space station—it’s a dream come true for Star and her friends.

This virtual-reality world—created in their minds by a book-reading secret research computer called SIMMER—leads Star and her friends into any imaginary storybook adventure they choose.

But their fun comes with a catch.

Their adventures differ from the storybook versions. And Star suspects that their make-believe actions might actually cause harm in the real world. The only way Star can persuade her friends is to lead them on a daring adventure of her choice—risking real harm if she is right, hoping she is wrong—and never revealing the one secret that explains all, but would suffer the loss of her friends.
