Publisher Description

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.

"This book is about a group of typical teenagers that meet eachother for the same reasons. They all want to see a certain star that comes out once a year. They get a closer connection as they meet. But create a dramatic ending when they have to leave eachother."

— MissyX1999 (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “The characters are well drawn and likable…The astronomical details are fascinating and lyrically incorporated into the narrative…Readers who like quietly self-reflective novels will also enjoy this compelling and thought-provoking story.”

    — School Library Journal

    " This was a top seller at our school's book fair, so I bought it. It is simple sweet read but definitely for the older set (10-11ish) and more likely to appeal to girls than boys. I can't see my son reading this but in a few years, I would recommend it to my daughter. "

    " Every Soul A Star is deep and personal. Reading from other characters' perspective in this book in particular makes it unique. Other books that do that like The Kane Chronicles don't pull it off the way Every Soul A Star does. "

    " I liked this book, but it wasn't a page turner for me. It was clean and creative, each chapter is from a different point of view (one of three). I would probably recommend it, especially if you're about 12 years old. "
