Miriam “Mir” Kendrick seems more aware of what she doesn’t have that what she really wants for her life. The face of an alien queen who fell in love with a superhuman man. She imagined him drawing the face of Skylark, a face with wide eyes and full lips, a face that looked so much like Stella’s. She imagined him at a drawing desk, ink flowing from the brush he was moving across a sheet of white paper. She would put her finger over Joseph Warrick’s name and stare at her grandfather’s name. Sometimes she would pick up a comic book from a display table at the Emporium of Wonders and look for her grandfather’s name in the credits: Based on characters created by Joseph Warrick and Micah Kendrick. Mir sat down at the kitchen table and put her head in her hands, digging her fingers deep into the roots of her hair. Young Adult, Contemporary Realism, Romance, Fiction
