Marta
Molly White is Ollie’s twin sister, and although both Ollie and Ollie’s dad encourage her interest in astronomy (she has the same stargazing book and planisphere as her brother does), they both treat her as a subordinate member of the family. She’s “Little Dipper” to Ollie’s “Big Dipper,” and Ollie’s dad grants her fewer privileges than her brother. Nevertheless, she functions as Ollie’s link to his family and as his conscience as he falls deeper and deeper into his questionable friendships with Raffy and Marta.

Q: A shooting star is not a star, how does it shine so bright?
A: The friction as it falls through air produces heat and light!
As in, wowie zowie, the authors of the Starry-Eyed Guide to the Galaxy—For Kids! have never actually had contact with anyone under the age of forty-two. Or, wowie zowie, if kids like Raffy catch you reading this book, they will crown you as King Nerd and announce the glad tidings of your coronation over the PA system.
My dad’s version of the book, the staid, declarative Guide to the Galaxy, is nearly identical, except that the graphics are a matte black, and the same information is listed as Fact #47. I guess that’s what growing up means […] phosphorescence fades to black and white, and facts cease to be fun.
