It’s not easy being a hero. Not even when you’re the star student at the Hero Academy.
Stardust is just a regular teenager: trying to survive high school and dreaming of becoming the perfect hero. But nothing ever happens in the boring town of Heroville for Stardust to be heroic about: weird uncles, her brother’s gross bug powers, and the occasional spy in their midst are the only challenges that ever seem to need overcoming.
Until Hero Academy retaliates with its own act of espionage, escalating the school’s rivalry with nearby Villain High—and launching Stardust into the biggest unsolved mystery in Hero Academy history.
When Stardust is chosen to enroll at Villain High to “gather information,” her once-impossible dream—to be a real hero—is finally within reach. But when Stardust is sucked into a whirlwind of dark secrets, school politics, and clashes with catty classmates, she finds herself in the center of something much larger than a simple spy mission…
Stardust does her best to fit in all over again, making new friends, confronting old enemies (including Glacier, Stardust’s snotty new classmate and sworn enemy), and dealing with the pressures of a brand-new high school. But when bonds of friendship and family are tested to their limits, Stardust discovers that in Hero Academy, some secrets can change you forever…
