Synopsis

Winner of the ALA Schneider Family Award, Wendy Mass has had her fiction for young readers honored with a Junior Library Guild Selection and a Book Sense Children's Pick. Every Soul a Star is the tale of an extra-ordinary occurrence related through three very different perspectives. Unlike the thousands converging at Moon Shadow to witness a total solar eclipse, Ally calls the isolated campground home. Bree shields herself in a cloak of good looks and popularity, but there is something within her no one suspects. And Jack, overweight and socially inept, finds himself on the verge of startling possibility.

I enjoyed this book so much! The book's characters are mostly middle-school age(with a few younger siblings thrown in), which, as we all know, is a time fraught with many changes. How each character traverses this part of their journey is part of why the book is interesting. The real reason I picked......more
