Stars Above
by Marissa Meyer · · 2001
Because the metadata provided for this companion collection to the Lunar Chronicles is thin, precise narrative details are limited. The anthology compiles short stories expanding the backstories and epilogues of characters within a futuristic, fairy-tale-inspired science fiction universe. Parents evaluating this volume should note that the broader series incorporates technological mind-manipulation, sci-fi action violence, and teenage romantic subplots.

Discussion questions
- 1When characters in these stories rely on their own personal desires to guide decisions, how does that compare to what Scripture teaches about placing feelings above God's truth?
- 2What core message about human dignity and self-worth does Marissa Meyer seem to want her young adult audience to hold after reading these retellings?
- 3Can you retell a scene where a character faced an intimidating threat, and explain where they drew the courage to act despite their fear?
- 4Would you say the consequences handed down to antagonists in these short tales represented fair justice, or was there a place where mercy should have been shown instead?
- 5How do the various adoptive parents, guardians, and rulers across these stories shape whether authority is viewed as helpful or corrupt?
