S is for Sebastian's Shadow





Good afternoon, Saturnites! Have you ever had that one band who just got you through the worst times. You know, that band that you never tire of listening to? That's how Sebastian's Shadow is for Chloe! They are her band. Annnnd to make Milo Grayson sound even more fabulous... Sebastian's Shadow is his favorite band too!

Sebastian's Shadow is very different than Spaceships Around Saturn. Their music doesn't have a radio friendly/poppy sound. They're a screaming rock band who have deep metaphorical lyrics about bleeding butterflies and sunrises. You can find some of their beautiful lyrics in American Girl On Saturn and see just how important those bleeding butterflies are!

Also, if you have the time today, you should go check Hawthorne Heights....the band who inspired Sebastian's Shadow!





The summer after graduation is supposed to be that first real taste of freedom - but not for eighteen-year-old Chloe Branson. Just as that breeze of freedom is making its way into her galaxy, her secret-service-agent dad drops a meteor-sized bomb of bad news on her and her sisters. An attempt has been made on the lives of Canadian boyband, Spaceships Around Saturn, during their USA tour, and the guys have to go into hiding ASAP. The only problem? In the midst of the crisis and media frenzy, their dad volunteered to hide the guys...in their house.

Six-year-old Emery is as ecstatic as any self-proclaimed Saturnite would be, but Chloe and her seventeen-year-old sister Aralie watch their summer plans crash and burn like a falling star. The SAS guys aren't happy with the situation, either. Bad boy Jules picks fights with Aralie about everything from his Twitter followers to his laundry, and heart-throb Benji can't escape Emery's fangirlisms for more than three minutes.

But after the super-cute Milo kisses Chloe during a game of hide-and-seek, she finally understands what Emery means when she talks about SAS being "out of this world." If this is what Saturn feels like, Chloe doesn't want to come back to Earth.
