When a strange and wild boy walks into her life, Tess is forced to confront a past she had long ago forgotten Fourteen-year-old Tess can'€™t remember the first ten years of her life'€”and if they were anything like her life now, she'€™d prefer that they stay forgotten. Since her mother'€™s death, she and her disabled stepfather have lived without a phone, electricity, or even much food on the table. At school, her classmates think she'€™s weird, but she'€™s bigger and stronger than all of them. And at least she has music to keep her company. When a mysterious stranger named Kamo shows up looking for his dad, he is convinced that Tess and her stepfather may have the answers he'€™s been searching for. The more time she spends with Kamo, the more she realizes how much they have in common. Then she hears a song on the radio called '€œSecret Star'€'€”a song so mesmerizing that every time she hears it, Tess'€™s past comes bubbling up, and she knows she won'€™t be able to keep it hidden for much longer . . .
