AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Catta and Tommy are left all alone when their parents die mysteriously on the other side of the world. While Tommy turns to his blanket for comfort, Catta hugs her toy lion and holds in her tears, believing that if she never cries her parents will one day return. But when Catta makes a wish on her birthday cake, a new world of hope is born. Toys come to life, beds become spaceships and Catta becomes a Starchaser, in search of a dying star that holds the power to bring back her parents. Enter the realm of Starchaser, a world with a mythology all its own. Starchaser takes students through time and space in search of answers to questions that lie deep within their own hearts.'
