Every Soul a Star
By Wendy Mass

Since I just saw an annular solar eclipse over the weekend in northern California, I was particularly thrilled by this novel! It also recently won the California Young Reader Medal.
Told in alternating chapters by three 13-year-old characters--Ally, Bree, and Jack--this is the story of a total solar eclipse and the people brought together by this rare and powerful astronomical event.
The three teenagers are strangers whose lives intersect in an unusual way in the middle of the woods one summer, and each of them experiences changes which will shape them forever.
