Kaisha Bisht

Kaisha is a 12-year-old-dreamer from Dallas, TX who’s been passionate about books ever since she graduated out of her bassinet. She started writing stories in first grade, and published her first book when she was 9. The idea for The Impossible Stars came to her and Aum at a boring party when they hid in Kaisha’s car and read a National Geographic article about Chinese zodiacs. When Kaisha is not reading, writing or jesting with her sister, she likes to play volleyball, sketch, or give belly rubs to her dog, Tiny – all while listening to music! Her favorite character from The Impossible Stars is Xy, but Jack is a close runner-up😸 Who is yours?

Aum Karra

Aum is an animal-loving, soccer-playing, hardcore Percy Jackson fan. He lives in Dallas, Texas with his mom, dad, and little brother Shreem. He was born in 2012, which is the year of the dragon. At least, that is what he says. Everyone else including his dad bothers with the technicalities and says he is a Rabbit because he was born in January; before the Chinese New Year. Despite all the skeptics, he still identifies as a dragon.Aum is a voracious reader and reads about 5 to 7 books at any given time. When he is not reading a book, or writing one, for that matter, he is usually seen practicing soccer or daydreaming. If anyone asks, he was playing soccer. He also likes jiu-jitsu, chess, and comedy.He and Kaisha have been friends since preschool, and at a particularly boring party, the idea for the Impossible stars was sparked. Within 24 hours, a full chapter was complete, and since then things have only gotten more exciting. His favorite character in The Impossible Stars is Stryke.
