lundlibrarian 's review for:

The Stars Beneath Our Feet by David Barclay Moore
5.0

I'll admit that I first picked up this book because of the cover art - what a beautiful story about finding your own place in the world, no matter how unconventional it may be. I loved Lolly's inner monologue.

It also had a heartbreaking way of reminding me that America needs to do a lot better for so many of our kids, so they never think this about themselves at the age of 12:
"Lolly, I think you'll be a good architect. Or whatever you wanna do."
"Thanks, Vega. We both know I won't ever be nothing."

Recommended for 7th grade and up!
