A review by sunflowerscottie
The Star Shepherd by MarcyKate Connolly, Dan Haring

5.0

Kyro wants to be a star shepherd like his father and his (deceased) mother. When clusters of stars start falling and disappearing, it becomes clear that there’s something darker causing it. Kyro’s father leaves to find out what’s happening, but he never returns. It’s up to Kyro to find out who’s stealing the stars and stop them before evil beings take over the world.

This is an absolute gem of a book. I give this to my children to read in a heartbeat. If I had kids, that is. It’s sweet, it’s adventurous, and it was fun to read. The illustrations inside are lovely and add to the story. If your kids (or you) like How to Train Your Dragon or The Graveyard Book (or both), then you’ll enjoy this. It’s very steampunk fantasy. I definitely recommend.
