Story review:

This book is written in 3 perspectives: Ally, Bree and Jack. If they were in a same school, they won’t even talk to each other.

Ally, she lives in Mood shadow campground, Middle of nowhere, U.S.A. She will not and cannot imagine life anywhere else. But fate has different plans for her, after the eclipse she has to “civilization “or in other words in a city. She is shocked so she and Bree make a plan. They even helped Jack and Mr. Silver in Mr.Silver's project with Ryan, Melony, Bree, Kenny (her brother). They had time of their life. Next afternoon, they saw their saw the eclipse right above their heads.

Bree is a popular, pretty and believes that she got switched at birth because her parents and her sister are geniuses. She wants to be a model .When her parents told her that they are moving to a campground; she was crushed because she’s not actually a nature girl. When they arrived, she decided she would never survive here. She got together with Ally and Kenny to make a plan. She even looked at the moon through a telescope. Then she realized that her "inner geek" is realeased. When she saw the eclipse she never ever saw anything that beautiful.

Jack is an overweight and always lonely plus no friends, just failed Mr, Silver’s science class. So, instead of doing summer school Mr. Silver offers him to be his assistant at an eclipse tour. He’ll write a report at the end and that will count as his science credit. On the way he made a strong connection with an old lady named Stella(he met her on the bus) and Ally. He plans to miss the eclipse.

As the eclipse is approaching all three of them are looking for something(even though they might not know what it is). In the end would they find it...or not.

Christian perspective:

I don’t think this book was written in a Christian perspective. Ally and Bree should have prayed and should have asked God to guide them. Before they actually put the plan into place they should have prayed and that if it didn’t work, they should know God should guide them, and he as always with you.

Your thoughts:

I really liked and enjoyed the book. I liked how the book was divided into 3 perspectives, and how sometimes one person starts from where the last person left off. I liked how each chapter ends off with the cliff hanger and it forces you to read more into it. I loved all the characters. My favourite one was Ally. The reason why I thought she was a nature loving girl, cheerful and did not care what people thought about her. I think the name of the book “ Every Soul A Star” correctly because every soul is as precious as a star. If could recommend this book to anyone it would be a person intrested in Science or a person who just loves realistic fiction.
