Starling is just turning twelve and about to start her first year in high school. This will be the first school she has ever attended, as until now she has been home schooled.
Her childhood so far has been different from her new classmates, having grown up vegan along with her best friend Rhuri, in a self sufficient, happy, commune with a wolf for a pet..
In her first year at school she has to face many challenges including having to learn school rules, dealing with bullies, making new friends, and how to deal with over the top media attention that comes her way. While still staying true to her own beliefs, involving being aware of the power of her thoughts, using mindfulness and meditation.
