Summary
On the planet Chiron, a girl who has been afraid to venture Outside must face germs and other frights when her mother and her holographic best friend, Star, are kidnapped.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Tria never, ever goes Outsideâthatâs where germs are . . . and living, bacteria-breathing humans! Sheâd much rather stay inside her pod with her best friend, a hologram named Star. But now she doesnât have a choice. Her mom has disappeared and Tria is in terrible danger and must flee their home to the security of a Back to Basics school. Before Tria tearfully turns her friend off, her mom manages to send Star a messageâvital information Tria can retrieve when sheâs safe. Except holoprojectors are strictly forbidden at her new school. No technology or modern influences are allowed! Tria has no way to contact Star or find out what her mom needed to tell her. Not to mention she has to put up with Dayla, a mean-spirited girl determined to make Triaâs life even more miserable.
Desperate to get hold of a holoprojector, Tria bravely takes on new challenges. But can a girl like Tria succeed in a world where danger lurks around every corner?
