Every Soul a Star by Wendy Mass
Ally, Bree, and Jack, are all
trying to find a place in the universe when they are all hit with bad news. Ally’s
moving to the suburbs, Bree is moving into a campground, and Jack is going to
summer school for science. Ally is a type of girl that doesn’t care about
anything that anyone says about her. She has this unconditional love for her campground
and space. Bree, on the other hand, is the total opposite. All she cares about
is boys and appearance, a typical teenage popular girl. And Jack, he’s the kind
of boy that see’s the world differently, it’s shown through his artistic values
of drawing humans with alien heads! He also has very low self esteem. Sometimes
he believes he can’t make it up to the expectations. These three teenagers are
brought together because of an upcoming eclipse, creating an unusual
friendship.
Wendy Mass combines astronomy and reality, in this book. After reading this book, I’ve learned that sometimes the best friendships come from the people you would have never expected it to come from. And always remember that everyone shines differently. If someone shines with singing, doesn’t mean you will too, you could shine by doing something else. Everyone is different, but yet the same.
“As long as you know who you are, and see what makes you happy, it doesn't matter how others see you” (Page 67). Happiness is the main point in the lives of these teenagers. They think that what they want will keep them happy, when it is what is needed that will satisfy that condition of emotion. They are struggling to figure themselves out. Three of them aren’t the typical group of friends you usually see. They are all different, so therefore their friendship needed to be worked on.
In the book, they are trapped in a shack, because of a rainstorm that suddenly came, which led them to bond even more. Each individual helped one another get used to their surroundings. Since Bree was moving into Ally’s campground, Ally was helping her get used to the responsibilities of living in a campground. And Bree was helping Ally get ready for the “real world”. And Jack on the other hand, is all ready to show off the new him!
My favorite character in this book is Jack. He reminds me of myself sometimes, since he has low self esteem. He believes he can’t reach the level of expectations, just the way I feel. I can empathize with him.
