Jellyfish Aliens And a Metal Dragon

Jellyfish aliens that send rain down from the sky, unique powers that give their bearers abilities to control the elements, metal creature that come to life, and a dangerous group trying to study and dissect them all... interested yet?! 

Sing Down the Stars is an epic story filled with intrigue, a fresh storyline, and unbelievable fun characters. Pen is the fifth daughter of Magus, the metal man. She is also compatible of calling down fire from the sky, though it's not perfected yet. Forced to be a 'boy' to protect her identity, she and her four sisters perform in The Show, a circus designed to hide their powers in plain sight. Her companions are also touched, like the man who loves snakes, the girl with the beautiful voice, and the magicians. Magnus, her metalworking father created monsters to protect them... a dragon, a gryphon, and a host of others. It works well until disaster strikes.

This book held my attention through its entirety, and will definitely make it to my reread pile. The characters both human and metal were endearing and memorable, Xerxes being my favorite. The mystery keeps you guessing to the end and the writing style will appeal to both young adults and adults alike. I sure hope there is sequel.
