A Night Without Stars by James Howe, Leslie H. Morrill

5.0

I first got this book when I was 13 and I thought it was going to be another one of those YA novels that you read and it just seems like it's the same as the rest of them out there.

But I was really surprised to find that this dug deeper than that. It really hit home because I, personally, have spent a lot of time in the hospital for surgeries in such when I was younger. Sometimes I was scared to death, and other times I wondered when I could leave. To this day I still do not like doctors, and will argue with them. I liked how I could feel what these characters were feeling--I could relate and that's what I loved about it. It displays a good message on looking beyond outward appearances and seeing deeper than that.

It's a story about friendship, faith, believing, and hope. It's still one of my favorites to this day, and I'd recommend it to any teen.
