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

4.0

This is a must read! dan Haring and Marcy Kate Connolly present a gorgeous middle grades tale of finding one’s way and believing in one’s self. Kyro is a spectacular main character you will fall in love with, and his supporting cast is perfect. Kyro and his father are Star Shepherds, collecting fallen stars and returning them to the sky where they belong. When the stars begin to fall more often than normal, Kyro’s father sets off to get to the bottom of it. But he doesn’t return and Kyro must set out to find him. Accompanied by his friend, Andra, and dog, Cypher, our main character journeys farther than he’s ever gone before. Much like life, the journey is as or more important than the destination, as Kyro gains confidence and determination, growing in his understanding of himself. With a few fabulous twists, the story keeps you reading until the end, and wanting the next installment right away.
