Every Soul A Star

In the last couple weeks (and spring break!) I read Every Soul A Star,   by Wendy Mass. This book was awesome, actually. The book switched between the main viewpoint of three characters; Ally, Jack, and Bree, who each could not be more different from one another. Ally has spent her whole life being homeschooled on her family's camp/motel type thing, in the middle of nowhere, called The Moon Shadow, Bree is super-popular and pretty, wanting to be a model when she grows up, and Jack is kind of an outcast at school with no self-confidence at all. They all meet each other after surprising events force them to work together. This book was really good. I love Wendy Mass books, especially A Mango Shaped Space, so that set the bar pretty high for this book, and it pretty much lived up to my expectations, even if it was not quite as good as A Mango Shaped Space. One of the kind of good-kind of bad things about Wendy Mass books in my experience is that the situations that happen are not extraordinary or anything, they are stuff that could happen in real life, which is cool sometimes. I would recommend this book to people, especially sixth or maybe seventh graders, but also sometimes eigth graders who liked books like A Mango Shaped Space, See You at Harry's, or Racing in the Rain.
