Every Soul a Star is a wonderful book about 3 kids who, for various reasons, are brought together by a solar eclipse. Meet Ally a nature girl who has lived at The Moon Shadow Campground her whole life, where the eclipse will occur, and refuses to imagine life any other way. Bree, a beautiful girl obsessed with being at the top of the social hierarchy, who throughout the book learns that there is more to life,and Jack, who is used to spending all his time alone, but when opportunity arises, finds himself in situations he never would have imagined. In alternating chapters the book follows the journey of these 3 very different people and how their lives connect and change and grow as they are brought together by the eclipse. I recommended this book for fans of coming of age books, people with an interest in astronomy, or those who enjoy hearing about something from many sides of the story. I highly recommend this book!
