Description

From bestselling and award-winning author Wendy Mass comes a gorgeous novel about three very different teenagers finding their place in the universe.

And as streams of light fan out behind the darkened sun like the wings of a butterfly, I realize that I never saw real beauty until now.

At Moon Shadow, an isolated campground, thousands have gathered to catch a glimpse of a rare and extraordinary total eclipse of the sun. It's also were three lives are about to be changed forever:

Ally likes the simple things in life--labyrinths, star-gazing, and comet-hunting. Her home, the Moon Shadow campground, is a part of who she is, and she refuses to imagine it any other way.

Popular and gorgeous (everybody says so), Bree is a future homecoming queen for sure. Bree wears her beauty like a suit of armor. But what is she trying to hide?

Overweight and awkward, jack is used to spending a lot of time alone. But when opportunity knocks, he finds himself in situations he never would have imagined and making friends in the most unexpected situations.

Told from three distinct voices and perspectives, Wendy Mass weaves an intricate and compelling story about strangers coming together, unlikely friendships, and finding one's place in the universe.

    To the teachers out there who want all their students to read this book, please don't let them read this one that was meant for eight year old girls. I have wasted 4 hours of my life on this book (and 8 dollars) to be completely ripped off.

    This book is one of the most awe inspiring books I have ever read in my life. I have no friends but this book makes me want to have more friends. It also has great description and a great plot. I hope the author makes a sequel.

    Honestly I didn't really get into the book itself. The sentences were a bit bland considering it's a middle school level, yes it does have a great concept but it probably could've used even stronger vocabulary. When I first picked up the book I thought 'hey maybe it's actually not going to be horrible' but I was partly wrong. The first sentence, always being the most important rather turned me away with the mention of fairies. Could it be better? Yes. Could it have been worse? Probably. I'd suggest this to lower reading levels though. I wasn't pleased having to read this for summer reading while every other school gets to read Shakespeare but I guess it wasn't as bad as I expected from the start.
