Vianna, a Filipino-American 12 year old girl is having a bad time living in Atlanta, her life was dull together with the fact that her parents are facing an impregnable divorce. To keep her from further worries, her lola took her in the Philippines for the first time. Just when she was adjusting to the new culture, fate decided to play with her. She found herself being the helper of a Filipina Goddess of lost things, Alunsina. Now she has to face another challenge beside trying to understand what "bababa ba?" Means.

Wala namang nagbabadyang ulan, Wala rin namang makakapal na ulap pero bakit walang ni isang bituin ang makikita sa kalangitan sa loob ng mahigit dalawang dekada? Stars are associated to many beautiful things. A metaphor for a lover, A subject for a poem, a word filler for clichéd romanticized ideas. But what if these little diamonds vanished into thin air--literally? Maria Estrella is a beautiful, confident and smart young lady. Lumaki sa isang maliit na bayan with the mountain on the left and the sea on the right as her view. Hindi niya hinayaan ang hirap na tumigil sa pagkamit ng kaniyang mga pangarap. With a loyal best friend and a consistent suitor, what more could she ask for? But her almost perfect life was not that perfect after all, sa pagtuklas ng kaniyang nakaraan ay ang pagtuklas din niya ng isang nagliliwanag na sekreto. That her--Maria Estrella, is the star thief. The very reason why the little glittering dots on the sky is nowhere to be found. Now she is left with a mission:Return the stars or let the darkness envelope the world, forever.
