Star Light: Star Light 1

The first in a series, Star Light captured me early as I empathised at Caleb’s life. Intrigued at his family dynamics, I wanted to know why his father was hiding them? Who were the voices he heard, and what happened to his mum? Caleb is a likeable character. He’s had to grow up fast with so much responsibility on his shoulders but with his father’s wrath a constant, he trudges through each day. The sibling dynamics are funny and a sudden change in control on the farm is maddening but riveting at the same time. I flew through the 2nd half of the book and am keen to get my hands on the next in the series – Star Bright – told in Rachel’s point of view. Great read and I love this cover! When placed in a sea of books on a bookshop shelf, this cover stands out. – What Book Next.
