Twenty years after the release of Oliver Jeffers' book How to Catch a Star, featuring the beloved characters of the boy and the penguin, the highly anticipated sequel Where to Hide a Star is being published!
Once upon a time, there was a boy who often played hide and seek with his two friends, the star and the penguin. The star always had the easiest hiding spots, until one day it got lost, and they couldn't find it anywhere!
So the boy asked for the help of the Martian to locate it, and soon he found himself on an exciting mission to rescue a spaceship in the North Pole. There, however, he discovered that he wasn't the only one dreaming of having a star for a friend...

It was mine.

I put it under my pillow.
But it kept talking."
