In the 12th installment of the Star Friends series, Mia, Lexi, Sita, and Violet suspect dark magic when everyone becomes irritable, quick to blame others, and unable to work together. Can the girls figure out what's going on?

The town of Westport is planning to destroy a nearby forested area to make way for a housing development. But that forest is exactly where Mia, Lexi, Sita, and Violet gather in secret to practice magic with their Star Animals! After attending a music festival, they discover that everyone in town is irritable, quick to blame others, and unable to work together. Is there dark magic at work? And if so, who is behind it--and why? With black-and-white illustrations throughout.

In the Star Friends chapter book series, Mia and her friends Lexi, Sita, and Violet all discover that they are Star Friends -- they can communicate with the animals that have traveled from the Star World. The animals show the girls how to use their unique magic abilities to do good. A whole world of magical adventures awaits!
Linda Chapman is the best-selling author of more than 200 books. The biggest compliment Linda can have is for a child to tell her they became a reader after reading one of her books. Linda lives in a cottage with a tower in Leicestershire with her husband, three children, two dogs, and one pony. When she's not writing, Linda likes to ride, read, and visit schools and libraries to talk to people about writing.

Kim Barnes lives near the sea on the Isle of Wight, her childhood home, along with her fiancé and two children. Kim’s love of drawing began at a very young age and has led her to a career in illustration, specializing in children's illustration.
