Celestial Bazaar

The Celestial BazaarSixteen-year-old Aarav's restless life on the island of Mauritius is defined by the stars he watches through his telescope and the quiet walls he longs to escape. When he discovers a hidden, celestial market that appears only during meteor showers—a place where you can trade a memory for a skill, a secret for a wonder—he believes he has found his ticket to the cosmos. But the Bazaar demands a price for its magic, and Aarav, guided by a skeptical scholar of folklore named Leïla, soon learns that every trade has a consequence. As a rogue trader begins to unravel the very fabric of time, threatening to erase Mauritius from existence, Aarav must choose between his dream of infinite stars and his duty to the fragile, wondrous world he calls home.
